I took a peek at the JavaScript in the source and can't claim to  
understand it on a quick once-over, but it seems they are using  
Microsoft .Net code in the routines that actually do the email. In  
particular, look at the schema declarations for task within the  
function createTask.

A lot of this looks like boilerplate to me; they wrote or found some  
code that works in Windows and they're too lazy to look for code  
that's really open standards compliant. Since there are thousands of  
other such pages that work with Mac OS X, the excuse they give seems  
to be disingenuous.

By the way, with .Net code in there, the routine will likely fail  
under Linux too.
