It seems that internally Firebird converts all diacritical (maybe some other
too) characters within any (including mailto) links to UTF-8.
The problem is, that in case of external programs, the URI's are passed on to
the external program in UTF-8 also.
Thunderbird apparently can handle UTF-8 encoded URI's, but Outlook can not.
Firebird nightly 0.8 behaves similarily.

Build is too old to be of use. Please try to reproduce this bug on FF 0.9 or a
nightly.
Thanks
