    Odd... Somewhere along the line you have done something you are not accounting for. At about this point, I would stick the following into the middle of your 'print <<HTML' block: 
    print <<HTML
...stuff that's already there
------BEGIN TEST-------
Here is afld3: |$afld[3]|
<a href="mailto:someone@somewhere.com">mail link 1</a>
<a href="mailto:someone@somewhere.com">$afld[3]</a>
<a href="mailto:$afld[3]">mail link 2</a>
<a href="mailto:$afld[3]">$afld[3]</a>  **What we want**
-------END TEST-------
...more stuff that's already there
HTML

    Then run it and look at the html code this prints (not just what shows up visible in the browser) to see what is happening.
