404 Script

I've been running into a number of problems with the text-only portion of newsletters. Some clients just don't understand the method of URL demarcation. I've managed to modify the 404 page so that it now catches most of these problems. Unfortunately, I think I'll need to consider another method. Maybe square brackets or something similar.

I've had to make a number of modifications to the 404 page. Fix something and another problem crops up, fix that problem and break something else, yadda, yadda. It's a continual process, naturally. Luckily most of the major problems have been showing up in the URLScan log so I can address them fairly quickly. I can't really remember a number of the changes, though they're easy enough to determine just by looking at the script. I'll definitely need to spend some time going through the script so I can document what's going on in there.
