Since it's web-based, have you tried encoding the space with %20, as you would for a normal http:// URL?

Hello All,

A bit of general words about the problem:

We have set up the web-based address book where the emails are shown as
hyperlinks (using mailto: ). The email addresses are the encapsulated x400
addresses, which look like following:



If the address does not contain [spaces] like in the example above, then
there is no problem. However if does contain [spaces] like he

"/G=Name/S=Surname/O=My

then Outlook will never send an email. It responses with "microsoft office
outlook does not recognize" the address. It tries to search it in the
address book or in contacts.

How to force it send a letter without checking its validity? or to neglect
spaces?

Any help/ideas are appreciated!

p.s. We cannot remove spaces from addresses.
