E-mail a link emails a bad link

It appears that we've stumbled upon our first SharePoint 2007 bug. The Send To > E-mail a link feature in document libraries is acting weird.



This feature creates a link like this one:
https://my%2Esite%2Ecom/Meetings/Meeting%20Agenda%20Template.doc

Notice how the server name is URL encoded too. The %2E's should be periods, e.g.
https://my.site.com/Meetings/Meeting%20Agenda%20Template.doc

This seems to be a known bug, and some options for fixing it are listed here:

Thanks very much for posting this - a client just brought up this issue to me, and your post was the first item in my Google search for the terms "MOSS 2007" "e-mail a link." Very helpful to find this information so quickly.
