[TYPO3] direct_mail_subscription generates problems with different links

[Daniel Doesburg [netcreators]]

The extension "direct_mail_subscription" generates a number of email 
links for subscription purposes. The last generated link in the email to 
adapt personal data is generated with the HTML entity & (the other 
links are generated with '&'). This HTML entity is correctly (?&bla) 
reproduced by a large number of email clients. There are also some the 
display it as ?&bla (which is actually: ?&bla in the 
source). You might guess what happens when you click that link. Not 
much. Among those that produce these kinds of links from HTML entities 
are Novell Groupwise and Vista Internet Mail. No we all know Microsoft 
and Novell are part of the evil empire, but we will have to deal with 
that fact. To me it seems like HTML entities are not to be generated for 
emails in general although generating HTML entities seems like a 
standard way.

Any thoughts on that?
