I’ve created a link in Sharepoint using the Content Editor Web Part. My link uses html to open up an email with the fields to, cc, subject, and body filled out. However, in the cc section I need a number sign (#) for a mailbox. When I use the html code & #35;(minus the space) my entire code crumbles. Everything starting at the “&” disappears.

However, just for kicks I tried & pound;(minus the space) and the code works for a european pound sign. Not sure what else to try. Any suggestions?

    Try %23. This worked for me from a Sharepoint (2003) Content Editor webpart. 

    <a href="mailto:someone@example.com?cc=%23212-555-1234
&subject=Hello again, %23007">
Send Mail</a>

    The email generated by this link looks something like like this:

    To: someone@example.com
    cc: #212-555-1234
    Subject: Hello again, #007
