# Custom e-mail link

 * I’m trying to get a custom email link to work on all of my posts. Basically I
   just want text that shows on each post that links to an email.
 * This is the code I included which displays correctly:
    `<a href="mailto:?subject
   =<?php rawurlencode (the_title()); ?>&body=<?php rawurlencode (the_permalink());?
   >">Email This Post</a>`
 * The only problem I have is that if there happens to be an apostrophe in the title
   it doesn’t work.
 * What’s displays as “What’s”
 * I’m also worried that maybe other characters are going to be messed up. What’s
   weird is that if I use a plugin like Sociable, then it displays correctly so 
   clearly there is a right way to do it. I just want text instead of graphic.
 * Any help on what I’m missing?
