Here is the code (the script is www.e-classifieds.net Standard Edition): 
if (($fields[$index_of_pmail] eq "No" || $fields[$index_of_pmail] eq "
+") && ($form_data{'show_temp_ads'} eq "")) {
print qq~
<a href="$script_url?session_key=$session_key&display_reply_form_butto
+n=on&results_format=off&db_id=$fields[$index_of_db_id]&exact_match=on
+&query=retrieval">Reply to Ad</a>~;
    }
else {
print qq~
<a href="mailto:$fields[$index_of_email]?subject=Reply To Ad #$fields[
+$index_of_id] at $sitename">$fields[$index_of_email]</a>~;
    }

Even if I try to display a link like this: <a href="mailto:rob@ebrae.com?subject=Bob & Tom">rob@ebrae.com</a> The subject line still reads: Subect: "Bob " Do you think there is even a way around this, regardless if the output is cgi generated?
