$HOSTNOTESURL$ being mangled (removing '&' char).

[Eli Stair]

I've got several different ext host/svc info links set up to various 
other pages.  That's great, and I'm using $HOSTNOTESURL$ in alert 
emails.  $HOSTNOTESURL$ seems to be stripping out the ampersand "&" 
during expansion:


extended host info defined in config as:
notes_url 
https://monitor/ganglia/?r=day&c=Opteron_2.4_GHz_Single_Core_8G_Deathstar_Cluster&h=$HOSTNAME$.domainname.com

This expands in the email alert (...EXTENDED HOST 
INFO:\n\"$HOSTNOTESURL$...) as:

EXTENDED HOST INFO:
https://monitor/ganglia/?r=dayc=Opteron_2.4_GHz_Dual_Core_16G_Deathstar_Clusterh=hostname.domainname.com

I've double-checked the printf to make sure & gets through un-escaped 
(it does), and the "Extra Host Notes" link generated by the CGI's is 
rendered properly:


https://monitor/ganglia/?r=day&c=Opteron_2.4_GHz_Dual_Core_16G_Deathstar_Cluster&h=hostname.domainname.com


Any input on this?  It looks to me like the chars are just being 
stripped when it's expressed in the alert.  I can properly printf & 
otherwise (I generate a link to acknowledge the outage in the same alert).

Thanks,

/eli
