As I tried to indicate in my first reply, you escape the % by doubling it. I.e. A single % is an interpolation of some kind; a double %% is a literal %. >Also, I was wondering, what is the reason for using the hex >code "%40" instead of "@" in the URLs provided to users? It really isn't necessary to use %40 instead of @ in the user options URL. Mailman uses Python's urllib.quote() function to insure that various characters that can cause problems are represented as %xx codes. The urllib.quote() function encodes most non-alphanumeric characters although it is not necessary to do many of them. In short, if you want to use @ rather than %40 in the user options URL in your text, that shouldn't be a problem.
