Sorry if this is unreadable; I'm trying to get a Winblows Strumpet
Winschlock-based mailer to work for my wife (I'm trying to wean her off
it but the stories she tells me about what she managed to do to the last
two Unix systems she was allowed to touch are scary :-).  (Actually, the
Trumpet Winsock looks like a pretty well put-together piece of software.)

I don't trust it to wrap included stuff properly....

It's simple enough; like all packages using C syntax for strings (all the
GNU text utilities and Unix shells, Emacs-LISP, etc) you need to quote
quotes:

print "<a href=\"index.html\">Back</a>";

should do the trick.  You can also avoid any character-level quoting by 
using single quotes instead of double quotes for the outside quotes:

print '<a href="index.html">Back</a>';

(You do need to quote single quotes inside single quotes, but that's 
the only thing.)  The parens are optional....
