taglibs-mailer1.1 subject body reacts strange to special characters including '&' character
I've been following a bug in the Mailer 1.1 Taglib. It involves how special
characters (example: & (ampersand)) are handled dispatching mail. An
annoying problem I've noticed with this taglib is using special characters
in the subject body like the & (ampersand character), the taglib does
something strange and the users, using MS Outlook email client, end up
seeing & instead.
At first I thought that the extra amp; that gets added onto the & character
had something to do with the <mt:message type="html">
but changing it to <mt:message type="text"> causes the subject to do the
same thing when handling the & character.
There are some posts in the bug database that seem to catch onto this
problem a little bit but it looks like the problem involves recompiling the
code, etc. which I'm just a regular user and don't know how to do... is
there a quick fix to this annoying bug.
