Ampersands / url parameters being html encoded

matthewling opened this issue 12 years ago · comments

Hi Guys, great work on this gem. I was wondering if it it's desired behaviour to have url parameters encoded which are hrefs within a html email. Is there a handy way to supress this and just to make use of the css inlining?

For illustration when running a test with the roadie gem bundled a url will look like:

http://domain.com?param1=value1&param2=value2

and without the roadie gem:

http://domain.com?param1=value1&param2=value2

Thanks!

Hi!
Having ampersands in a href attribute is invalid HTML, so they should be escaped in all cases.
Did I misunderstand you?
