Any idea why the HTML in my email gets mangled a bit?

The HTML sent in is as follows:

<a href="https://mydomain.com/intranet/project-manager/task-one?task_id=283046">Unable to remove deadline from task</a> (#283046)

What I get in my email (in Mail.app in Mac OS X, viewing source):

The link is returned as:

x-msg://6/3d%22https://mydomain.com/intranet/project-manager/task-one?task_id=3d283046%22

Any idea what's going on here?

well =3d is "=" as quoted printable and %22 is " url encoded so it looks like some sort of mishmash of encodings. You should really look at what's really being sent (put some logging stuff in acs-mail-lite or something, and send it to a unix account and see what ends up in the spool file before an MUA gets hold of it).
