My company's Exchange team created a mailbox for our department with an
ampersand in the SMTP e-mail address (e.g. AB******@domain.com.) Is it
possible to create a mailto link that can incorporate (resolve) the
ampersand?
I'm wasn't sure whether ampersands were allowed in e-mail addresses, but
RFC2368 indicates they are, and how to use them.
See: <http://www.wu-ftpd.org/rfc/rfc2368.html>

Just briefly, what you need to do to use the ampersand within HTML is
encode it as "&", like this: ABCD&EF*@domain.com
This (encoding ampersands) within HTML is an HTML authoring issue, whatever
the ampersand is used for (in text, in URIs, etc.).
