Re: escaping/entities on the fly?

Yeah in the e-mail adress yes, but this is actually in the subject line, 
like so:
href= mailto:adress(_at_)adress(_dot_)com?subject=kabelskccccåp

But of course the same restriction applies to everything in the href 
attribute.

I'm using outlook express. So it seems what I need is to convert to HTML 
entities instead of %HH, since outlook can't display those characters 
correctly.

Nor should it.  The rules for escaping non-ASCII characters in mail
headers are explained in RFC 2047: http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt

For example:

Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?kabelskcccc=E5p?=

Which you would then URI-escape, yielding:

href="mailto:adress(_at_)adress(_dot_)com?subject=%3D%3FISO-8859-1%3FQ%3Fkabelskcccc%3DE5p%3F%3D"

But this is not possible in XSLT 1.0 so I'm screwed I guess. :)

Unless someone has implemented an ietf:rfc-2047-encode() stylesheet
function...
