Ok....that's weird. I checked your example out and I don't get the issue anymore. It could very well be something at my end. I'm going to have to do some extended cross-platform testing but all'n'all this does seem to be the right way to go.
I appreciate everyone's help very much. Thanks a lot...
Hmmm...that's a good thought. I have a lighbox clone loaded. I removed it but the strange behaviour just won't quit. This is one of those times when I hate IE7 more than IE6. At least good ol' 6 has well referenced bugs.
Well, thanks for your help guys. I'm just about ready to give this one up.

Thanks for your quick replies.
While the HTML Obfuscation method is attractive in many ways, moreso than the Character Encoding one they both have their fault, as pointed out by feherke. On my part I dislike them both because they are very non-semantica and while I will admit my method isn't...

function MailSimple() { javascript:window.location="mai"+"lto:"+"contact"+"@"+"web"+"site"+"."+ "com"; }
And my HTML:
<a href="#" onclick="MailSimple();return false;"><img src="mailto.jpg" /></a>
