Hi Bob,

It's probably the business's fault. It is invalid to put ~ into a URL.
If it appears, it denotes the end of the URL. A valid alternative is
to use "%7e":




Some mail clients and webmail may kindly (but wrongly) allow the ~,
but I wouldn't bet on it. I'm reading the e-mail in Gmail and it
doesn't work.

Clicking on the link you gave produced the URL following
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/business/story/0,28124,25590542-36375,00.html?referrer=email&source=AusBus_Lunch_email_nl
and was a page from 'The Australian: Business with the Wall Street Journal'.
Was this what you expected?

Hi Everyone !

I receive emails from a business source that are using URL links 
with an   " ~ "


in the middle of the link :  sample below

In the link below the " ~ " is about two thirds across between vt & V

In the mails I receive all that part of the link past the   ~   does 
not transfer to the browser




Anybody else have the same problem please ?
