SharePoint "Send To > Email a Link" Fix

In SharePoint 2007 Document Library, the Send To > Email a Link context menu will open your local email client and put the link of that document in the email body. But somehow the URL encodes the whole URL, instead of just the relative path. So the URL will end up like this:

http://sharepoint%2Exyz%2Ecom/devacct/Shared%20Documents/JDE%20-%20Timberline%20Conversion/JDE%20Standard%20Reporting%20Details.pdf

Basically, the dot(.) in the domain name is also URL encoded(%2E).

It is not clickable link even though if we copy it to IE, it will still work.

The link should be

http://sharepoint.xyz.com/devacct/Shared%20Documents/JDE%20-%20Timberline%20Conversion/JDE%20Standard%20Reporting%20Details.pdf

In order to fix this. You need to locate CORE.js in

 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033

Find this line:

fileUrl=escapeProperly(httpRootWithSlash.substr(0, slashLoc))+currentItemUrl;

and replace it with this:

fileUrl=httpRootWithSlash.substr(0, slashLoc)+currentItemUrl;
