How to encode links in email templates? We have a problem related to the escaping of the &amp; in the password reset URL not being escaped. This link:

http://yoursite/admin/actions/users/setpassword?code=abcd&amp;id=1234


somehow, this arrives at our server as: 

http://yoursite/admin/actions/users/setpassword?code=abcd&amp;amp;id=1234


Then the code is abcd and a parameter called amp;id is 1234, and the error "Bad Request Param "id" doesn't exist." is thrown.

In our case, we have craft setup to send HTML emails, and have an email template like: 

Click here to reset your password: {{link}}


and end up with the link http://yoursite/admin/actions/users/setpassword?code=abcd&amp;id=1234 directly in the HTML - this is WRONG, since the &amp; symbol has to be escaped as &amp;amp;. 

Now, we could compensate, and make our template: 

Click here to reset: {{link|escape}}


Then we get correct HTML, but the plain-text version of the email is now broken. 

Is there no way to have separate templates for text and html emails in craft? 

How do other people solve this?

Correct.  That's something we're going to try to address in Craft 3.

Regarding the ampersand encoding, I can't reproduce that locally.  Maybe your email client is encoding it or there is an overly aggressive mod_security / Suhosin / Apache setting that's doing it?
