For the benefit of anyone who comes across this, the answer seems to be that the URL has to be encoded, changing the @ to %40. Then it works fine. </p> <p>So I did a little PHP script to accomplish that. Bit of a workaround for something I thought was going to be easy, but I think I have it working now. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-populating-email-field-from-query-string#post-9543 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:09:24 +0000 pmcall 9543@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK, this is really weird. Clicking the link I just posted works fine. But clicking the same link in a plain-text email loses the @ sign. Is there a reason for this? I'm not much of a techie ...</p> <p>Pam</p> <p>Edited to add: Same result (losing the @ sign) clicking the link in an HTML-formatted email. Tried it from Apple Mail, and from Gmail on Firefox and Safari. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-populating-email-field-from-query-string#post-9542 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:08:04 +0000 pmcall 9542@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm trying to populate an email field from a link that will be sent to people in an email. For example:</p> <p><a href="http://www.newfuturescircle.com/access/preference-update/?email=person@domain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.newfuturescircle.com/access/preference-update/?email=person@domain.com</a></p> <p>If I copy and paste the link into the web browser, it works fine. But if I click the link, which is what I'd want users to do, the @ sign is removed.</p> <p>Is there another way to do this, or am I doing something wrong? </p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Pam </p>
