 * Hi, when I use the ‘forgotten password’ or ‘register new user’ option in ‘wp-
   login’ l get an email with a link to change the password. Clicking the link results
   in the browser in an error ‘invalid key’. I investigated the problem and found
   that the link in the email is encapsulated in the symbols ‘ < link > ‘. When 
   i copy the link without the leading and trailing ‘<>’ and paste it in the browser,
   it works fine. So my question is, were (wp-login.php ?) can i change the code
   so those symbols are not included in the email message.

 * I discovered that the error is caused by the mailprogram from a samsung galaxynote
   pro 12.2.tablet. So, if anyone ownes such a tablet be warned.
