Funtion to send articles to a friend (from front-end) send a bad URL:
Example:

Esta página web de "Genealogía.org.mx" se la ha enviado Samuel Sanchez ( samuelsanchez@genealogia.org.mx ). Para visitarla, haga clic en este enlace:  http://www.genealogia.org.mx/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=555&Itemid=141


The correct URL need be:
Esta página web de "Genealogía.org.mx" se la ha enviado Samuel Sanchez ( samuelsanchez@genealogia.org.mx ). Para visitarla, haga clic en este enlace:  http://www.genealogia.org.mx/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=555&Itemid=141

The problem is: &

How can we correct this?

The URLs are generated like that in order to be XHTML valid. They normally intended to be displayed inside an HTML document (elxis) and not in a plain text e-mail. This is why they are not being displayed well in the e-mail.

You can solve this problem by replacing the & with & before sending the e-mail.

open components/com_content/content.php
go to line 1607.
Add bellow this:
   $link = sefRelToAbs($mainframe->getCfg('live_site').'/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id='.$uid.'&Itemid='.$_Itemid );
This:
   $link = str_replace('&', '&', $link);
save the file, done.
