Error opening URL to submit this form

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro with a Submit Form button (the form submits to my email address). All of my users will be submitting the form using Adobe Reader 8 so I Reader Enabled the form in Acrobat. When I submit the form in Reader I get the error message "Error opening URL to submit this form". If I click OK it submits to my email address just fine. How do I get rid of the error message?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

What is the URL?

The error message is from Acrobat. It doesn't like the url format. But it passes it onto windows, which doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

The email format should be something like: "mailto:me [at] mycompany [dot] com"Thom Parker
