URL arrives missing in mail missing one character

I have written a Lotus Script agent that sends an email notification to a user with a hyperlink to the document that they can click on to view the document.  If I route the message to the clients exchange server, it chops off the first character of the URL so instead of this:

<A href="http://www.myserver/mydatabase/myview/mydoc">Click here to view document</A>

they get this:

<A href="ttp://www.myserver/mydatabase/myview/mydoc">Click here to view document</A>

notice the missing "h" which causes the link not to work.  If I route the message to another mail server, the link arrives intack.  It is only on the clients exchange serve that this behavior occurs.

Any ideas?

No connector involved here.  I was leaning toward thier spam filter (they use Spam Assasin) doing something funky.

Well, my solution is not pretty but it works.  I am sending the URL with an extra "h" like this

hhttp://server/database/view/doc

The exchange server still strips the first character so the links work now.  Now I just have to worry about them fixing it.

Thanks for the suggestions.
