[ale] Preventing Atrix/android from converting embedded number to a link

[Richard at Bronosky.com (Richard Bronosky)]

I'm replying from an Atrix on 2.3.4 is the first number getting manipulated?

My suggestion would be to update the processing script to correct the
problem the androids are introducing. I know it sounds like a case of "not
my fault, I shouldn't have to fix it", but that is what web developers have
had to do about IE for the last 17 years.
