The problem definitely seems to be when the href= doesn't contain a url,
but the text between the > and </a> does.  Here's another example:

before:
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">
test&nbsp;<a href="thisisnotaurl">http://thisisaurl.com</a> test<br>
</body>

after:
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">
test&nbsp;<a href="thisisnotaurl"></b></font><font
color="red"><b>MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt
from "thisisnotaurl" claiming to be</b></font> <font
color="red"><b>MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt
from "thisisnotaurl" claiming to be http://thisisaurl.com</a> test<br>
</body>
