mailto field not displaying properly

Hi,
This is the first time I have run accross this problem....................

My scripts build the sql tables and then populate them with some beginning data.
this is just a snippet
INSERT INTO mos_clubmouse (

primary_email,
)

'admin@clubmouse.biz',
the information is being inserted properly into the database

however when I hit the view screen

the email shows up like this
<a href="mailto:admin@clubmouse.biz">admin@clubmouse.biz</a>
the field properties in PHP Runner are set as follows.
view s email hyperlink

edit as and edit format are blank
I checked the email info in the sql database and compared it to one which is working and I see no difference.
Thanks
