iTunes Music URL + GMail is not teh love.

my first iTunes 5 problem.. it could just be me though. I use the ‘Copy iTunes Music Store URL’ when I send you guys links to music you should be listening too. But today I was trying to send some email with links in it and now the URL that is getting copied looks like this: http://www.jtucker.org/images/blog/M83_203.url  when pasted into a new gmail. If I copy to a text file first then into gmail it works just fine. Very weird. Anyone else get this behavior?
