I have the following code that should email users who signup for a e-newsletter
the opportunity to confirm their subscription:

<cfmail to="#form.Email#" from="admin@test.com" server="mail.test"
subject="Serenity Confirmation" charset="iso-8859-1" mailerid="Serenity"
port="25">
A request to have your email added to the Serenity database in order to
receive our e-newsletter has been received.  In order to confirm your addition,
please click on the link below:

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge
href="http://www.serenity.com/verify.cfm?Act=#form.Email#&ID=#URLEncodedformat(f
orm.User_UUID)#


It">http://www.serenity.com/verify.cfm?Act=#form.Email#&ID=#URLEncodedformat(for
m.User_UUID)#

It</a> seems to display correctly in Outlook, and Yahoo, but in MSN, the url
either becomes a 'mailto', or some other link that doesn't work......  plus, in
Hotmail/MSN, the system displays the link/http line with:

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge
href="http://www.serenityboise.com/verify.cfm?Act=#form.Email#">http://www.seren
ityboise.com/verify.cfm?Act=#form.Email#</a>  being underlined as a active url
link and the rest as just black text.

Does anyone have a solution for this?  Its very frustrating......

Thanks!
Steve
