[ZendTo] Upgrade Not Working

Hi Mark,

I just checked the template 
(/opt/zendto/templates/dropoff_email_html.tpl) and it is supposed to 
hex-encode the email address to make it a bit harder for things scraping 
your email to pull the address out and sell it.

It's on line 16 of that file.

Though Exchange Online should be perfectly capable of displaying it 
correctly, everything else seems to show it fine. Sounds like a 
(hopefully temporary) bug in Exchange Online. It should be perfectly 
okay to URL-encode (i.e. hex encode with % signs) a mailto: URL address.

Anyone else seeing this problem on any other email clients?

Cheers,
Jules.
