Hello.

I'm using the excellent httrack to mirror a site that
contains *external* links of the form:

<http://www.example.com/program?arg1=val1&amp;arg2=val2>

In the mirror version of the site the external links have
been changed by httrack to the form:

<http://www.example.com/program?arg1=val1&arg2=val2>

Notice how the `&amp;' has changed to `&'.  This is invalid
HTML according to:

<http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp>

For reasons I won't bore you with, I need the mirror to be
valid HTML, so this ampersand conversion is causing me a few
problems.  Does anyone know if this is a bug or a feature?
Thanks.
