[thelist] url encoding links to external sites

Hi all

Probably simple, but my brain is near mush.  I need my page to validate 
to XHTML1.0 but have this link:

http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/scripts/nthandbook.dll?ACTION=PROPERTY&PROPERTYID=5

That, because it contains reserved characters, is causing my page not to 
validate.  I've tried encoding the ? with %3f and the = with %3d etc, 
but the URL then won't play with the national trust's server.  Is there 
a way out of this?

Regards

Francis
