So I took somewhat of a different approach. I made an assumption and figured the mail parser was having issues due to the @ symbol. With that, I decided to replace the @ symbol using "URL encoding", which as a hexidecimal reference of %40, and it worked like a charm. So... anybody using Yahoo's web hosting and sending a URL with an @ symbol in the body as a part of a URL, recommend using %40 in place of the symbol.

premiso - appreciate the feedback. I'll give an HTML based e-mail a shot and report back on whether it worked. Either way, at least then someone else using Yahoo hosting may benefit from the knowlege of this. Thanks, jrbush82

I've been struggling with being able to send an e-mail via the php mail() function when the body of the e-mail includes a "unique" URL. The string that will not work is: "https://p11.secure.hostingprod.com/@www.domain.com/dir/directory/file.ext" The point within the string that breaks the capability, is the "/" after www.domain.com. I have tried escaping it like so: "https://p11.secure.hostingprod.com/@www.domain.com\/dir/directory/file.ext" This allows the e-mail to successfully send, however the body of the e-mail contains the backslash as well as the frontslash. Any ideas?
