Weird character encodings in profile pages

I am using Moodle 1.1.1 running on a Macintosh.

The problem mentioned above (garbled 'mailto:' at the head of email addresses) seems to be an IE Mac problem.

When I click on a name in the list of users I am taken to the profile of that user - fine so far.

With mac IE 5.2.2 (5010.1) if I move the mouse arrow over the email address I can see the 'link' in the status bar. Here I can see that the 'mailto:' part has been altered, always with 'm' at the beginning and the colon at the end, but there are amost always letters missing; e.g. 'milt:' or 'malt:' or 'mil:' or 'malto:' or 'mailo:' etc.

When I reload the page this changes. Sometimes the correct 'mailto:' appears.

I have checked this on a Windows machine using both IE and Netscape and the problem is not duplicated. Furthermore, the problem does not occur in Mac Netscape or Safari.

Certainly not a big problem, but can this be fixed?
