URL is encoded into Chinese? - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

you know link @ top of articles, can mail, print, etc? in our site, if click "mail" link sends email url of article, url wrong... encoded in chinese. here's example:

this e-mail (becker's asc review) sent geoffrey (geoffmack@gmail.com). may find following link interesting: 糨8幰5m4k槴 }�鵜x觙;駶骰^6

the actual url supposed send this:
http://www.beckersasc.com/asc-transacti ... enter.html

any idea going on here?

this getting weird. use somebody's help. popped open components/com_mailto/controller.php , found unexpected in there. 1 line had been commented out , replaced another, here is:

// $link = mailtohelper::validatehash(jrequest::getstring('link', '', 'post'));
$link = base64_decode(jrequest::getstring('link', '', 'post'));

so, speculated problem related base64_decode , removed it. have this:

// $link = mailtohelper::validatehash(jrequest::getstring('link', '', 'post'));
// $link = base64_decode(jrequest::getstring('link', '', 'post'));
$link = (jrequest::getstring('link', '', 'post'));

and getting system emails this:

this e-mail (becker's asc review) sent geoffrey (geoffmack@gmail.com). may find following link interesting: bc61009a6780410401a764066cbb4e8538280f85

i close here, don't know what's wrong. ideas?
