Ampersand shows as &Amp; in subject #399

Closed davidbarman closed 4 years ago

davidbarman commented 4 years ago

The subject template doesn't seem to accept & characters. If the & character is part of the template file explicitly or passed in a parameter variable it gets translated to &Amp; when the email is sent.

I have been unable to find a work around.

Any insight?

your template engine is rendering it as escaped

for instance, with pug we do this:

!= 'Foo & Bar'

Instead of escaped:

= 'Foo & Bar'
