# prevent urlencode for php loop code?

 * Hello,
    I’ve got a code like this in my WP loop: `echo "<a href='http://test.
   com/?status=\"This is not URL encoded\"'>";` However, after loading the webpage,
   the source code looks like `echo "<a href='http://test.com/?status=\"This%20is%
   20not%20URL%20encoded\"'>";`
 * Is there a way to disable WordPress’ automatic urlencode of code? Or is this 
   a “feature” of one of my plugins?
 * Thanks, Thorsten
