In batch files, because ampersand (&) is a special character to the command processor, you need to put quotation marks (") around anything that has the ampersand symbol.

I am running blat 2.6.2 Feb 2007 version
We have a users who has some emails with "&" in their email address
ie Earth&[email protected]
it is run from a batch script... I am not wondering if this is actually a DOS issue...
Blat will report that it is trying to send up until the "&" and fail.. ie
-to Earth
then it fails saying invalid email address "Earth" becuase it dropped the "&[email protected]" part.
Now that I am thinking about it.. AGAIN... maybe it is a DOS thing where DOS thinks it is another command in DOS not another Blat field. Hmmm
How would I fix this in DOS? Can I simply put quotes around the email address?
thanks
