HTML e-mail double .. in URL string

I forwarded an html e-mail to a user whom then forwarded it off to our user group - what's odd is that some of the URL links have two .. after them example:

http://www.ourtsite.com/emails/html/page.asp?id=pdf&pdf=http://www.ourtsite.com/pdfs/nameofpdf..pdf 

instead of:

http://www.ourtsite.com/emails/html/page.asp?id=pdf&pdf=http://www.ourtsite.com/pdfs/nameofpdf.pdf 

which is how they are in the e-mail.

Is this an outlook problem possibly going from html to rich text?

Shouldn't be.  But to clarify:

1.  Did all the URLs arrive correctly when sent from you to user?

2.  Did the same URL have extra period for all recipients of group user re-forwarded to, or was this a problem only for some of the recipients in the group?

1) Yes - they look fine!  

2) It appears it was a problem with some of the recipients!

Maybe they were using some other e-mail besides OutLook - possibly Outlook Express, Eudora etc - I don't know - all I know is what I sent looks fine - all the links work but some users are compailing that the links don't work and when I got a hold of one of the e-mails it clearly has two ..
