note Albannach <del>To start with, I'd use single quotes in you definition of $mydir so as to avoid escaping your slashes, make it easier to read, and provide a visual cue that no interpolation is going on here.</del> <p> In Outlook, you can use angle brackets to contain your links, which works with either style of link and avoids the need for %20 spaces: <code> <file://X:\mydir\my spaced dir\> </code> or <code> <\\myserver\mymappeddir\mydir\my spaced dir\> </code> <font size=-2>Update: Bah! Please ignore my bad advice on quoting, though the Outlook comment still holds. I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks to [id://381608] and [id://409850].</font> <!-- Node text goes above.
