MLO (General): Task-By-Email Adding / Removing / Substituting Characters in Hyperlinks

[Ray Emerson]

Good day, all.

  I forwarded an email with a couple of hyperlinks in it to MLO for review today, and noted some issues I’d like to bring up for review. Please note I’m not employed by, nor am I advertising for, the company in the link. It is only an example that I had readily available. If you're interested in gas cylinder regulator safety, however, please click through. :-)

 

This is the original link:

This is the link that arrived in my MLO Inbox:

  Note that the underscore (_) character in the original URL has been replaced by whitespace in the TBE version. At 75 characters, the line breaks and an equal sign (=) is inserted. The latter breaking behavior occurred on every line in the message narrative, i.e., an "=" was inserted every 75 characters, and a new line was started.

 

  I’ve done some additional testing today, but can’t reproduce exactly every time. Sending with the same computer / email client / text formatting (HTML), the underscores came through properly in the below. There was a break at 75 characters, as before, but no "=" was inserted.

All_of_the_text_is______broken_to_a_new_line_delimited_by_an_equal_sign_at_s

eventy-five_characters._All_underscores_are_replaced_by_whitespace.

  I'm curious if anyone has seen similar behavior, and, if so, if it might be worthwhile to report as a bug.

Thanks in advance for the input!
