Default Web address in my <textarea> causes permission error.

Hi,

I have a problem with one of my form.
It is a big form but I narrowed it down to the text area

If I have, (in the file called settings.php, the form is calling itself).
//
//
<form action='settings.php' method='POST'>
<textarea rows="4" cols="60" name="description"></textarea>
.... submit button..
</form>
//
//

and I enter the following text, with no quotes.
"to: admin@example.com"

I get a "You don't have permission to access settings.php on this server".

What could be wrong?
The text normally comes from the database so how can I prevent the user from
entering invalid data?

Could it be an invalid charset of some sort.

Many thanks

Simon
