trying to send link with querystrings as email

 Dim x As String
 x = "http://www.domain.com/aaa/test/default2.aspx?date=" & now.Text & "&tfname=" & p1fname.Text & "&tlname=" & p1lname.Text & "&comp=" & Request.QueryString("comp")

 Dim objEmail As New MailMessage()
 objEmail.To = "[email protected]"
 objEmail.From = "[email protected]"
 objEmail.Cc = "[email protected]"
 objEmail.Subject = "Test Email"
 objEmail.Body = x
 SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.domain.com"
 Try
     SmtpMail.Send(objEmail)
 Catch exc As Exception
     Response.Write("Send failure: " + exc.ToString())
 End Try

When I get the email it comes with

http://www.domain.com/aaa/test/default2.aspx?date=1/13/2011

as a link

and the rest as text

11:39:09 AM&tfname=sadasd&tlname=asd&comp=GWI

Whenever you put a parameter into a query string, you should encode it using System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode to avoid invalid characters going into the URL:

x = "http://www.domain.com/aaa/test/default2.aspx?date=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode(now.Text) &
    "&tfname=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode(p1fname.Text) &
    "&tlname=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode(p1lname.Text) &
    "&comp=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Request.QueryString("comp"))

You cannot have Spaces in the query string, if you need to put spaces, replace it with %20 before appending to the querystring. Although the ideal way to do this is to encrypt and decrpt the text in the querystring.
