Kevin,

I've attached the original message source (with the originator's e-mail
info obscured). As you can see, the URL is properly formed in the
message as received. The problem arises when I try to anything *to* that
message with the Evolution client.

Evolution changes "&" to "&amp;" whenever I try to act on the URL as
described in the original post. It does the same when I Reply To or
Forward the message.

If this behavior can be suppressed, I haven't found where.
