Yes, because you are URL encoding it, which does exactly that. Put a
space into an email address and you'd see a %20 instead, etc.

The browser will convert it back for display purposes *within the
actual browser* (i.e. title bar, status bar) but the actual text
really contains a %40.

If you don't want this behaviour, don't URL encode the email address.

Best regards,

Richard Davey
