hash() md5 and url encoding issue

Apr 14th, 2008

Hello again,

This may or maynot be proper thread for this topic, but here it is. I have a coldfusion 7 serve that I am running a page on, that uses hash(<email>,"MD5") all it well and good
makes me a hash string and all. I store this hash and in a mysql db. Where this goes downhill is where I try to present this hash embedded as string link on a web based email.
I am using cfmail to create the html email. On some of the email html the hash codes get random escaped codes in them. For instance,

FAB8F6699E95066B22BB98D563FE129C

<becomes>

FAB8F6699E95066B22BB98D%0A563FE129C

Notice the %0A in there !! Grrrr..

I have tried htmlcodeformat, htmleditformat, paragraphformat.. etc.. What is odd to me is that the mysql data is correct. So it is in the presentation in a browser/url that boggled.

Thanks for any ideas. Driving me batty.
Bob
