Mailto link problem

Hi everyone,
I just ran across a problem that maybe someone on this list could help
me with.  We are in the process of getting our library web site up and
on one of the pages we have a mailto link.  Our institution's email
addresses have question marks in the username between the last name and
first inital (freund?t at mptc.tec.wi.us)  When you click on the mailto
link, the new message window pops up but the email address in the to:
line is truncated after the question mark.  Hence all that appears is
the freund and nothing else.  The problem seems to be specific to the
Netscape browser as it works fine with IE.  Has anyone out there
experience this?  Does anyone know a solution to fix this problem?
Thanks!!
