Yes that is what is supposed to happen. When _I_ click the link, the browser gets sent to: http://dealnews.com/newsdaily.html?article%2c42900 and dealnews redirects that to: http://dealnews.com/article%2c42900 It is not dealnews that is the problem either. I just sent myself a test e-mail with a bogus hyperlink, and what happens is the comma gets translated to "%2c" before it hits the browser. I wonder what could be causing that.
