Mailchimp linking to powerstore 4

Hello.
I am not sure if anyone else is having this issue. I am 99% sure this is a mailchimp issue but I figured I would bring it up here to see if there is anything I can tell them to help.

I am trying to do a blast with links back to my clients site. The links work everywhere (including in mailchimps preview) except when it is blasted. For some reason the "[]" brackets are being dropped.
The correct link would be:
products_results.php?Search=1&ProductCategoryID[]=2

The blast gives me this link which does not work:
products_results.php?Search=1&ProductCategoryID=2

Are there any thoughts as to why or maybe a work around?

Thanks,
Rob

try replacing the brackets "[]" with the html entities'

%5b

and

%5d

it seams that mailchimp is striping out the brackets for some reason, using html entities for the links may prevent this:
