Assuming you didn't chop off any essential parts of the message, invalid, that's either Windows Mail or Word or Word embedded in Windows Mail or all three screwing up. That mhtml:... link would be just fine if it was in a multipart/related message and linking to another text/html part of the message with that as the content-location. If in fact that part wasn't in the message, my best guess would be that the original link was supposed to be to http://www.example.com/, not to a local piece of the message, but the link was flawed (www.example.com, htp://, http;//, whatever) and something in the chain of things generating the message decided it was supposed to be a relative local link to something that didn't exist instead of a broken external link.
