It looks like you are sending the e-mail with the 
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable" header set but you haven't 
suitably encoded the content.  Either drop the quoted printable header 
from your e-mail or properly encode the body!

Quoted printable encoding treats an equal sign as an escape character 
followed by two hexadecimal digits for the ASCII code of a character. 
So it is the quoted printable encoding (not PHP!) that's changing =25 at 
the end of your URL to the % character in the mail.

At a minimum, you'll need to encode the equals sign as =3D in the e-mail 
(i.e., "post_clicked.php?id=3D25") -or- drop the quoted printable header 
from the e-mail.  Better yet would be to run your entire e-mail message 
body through PHP's quoted_printable_encode function.

Really, though, it's not a PHP problem but a mismatch between your mail 
headers specifying the quoted printable encoding and your body not 
actually being encoded.
