Now here's something else I just tried: I opened up this G3-5 webpage in Safari, clicked on the links in my own message above, and got the same error: "Safari can't open the page." Then I quit Safari, opened up this page in Firefox, clicked on the same links in the message again, and the linked p

Have a very careful look for embedded spaces in URLs that get anywhere near Apple's mail application. URLs cannot have spaces in them! They must be encoded with %=20 if they're really needed. The mail APPL uses content type format-flowed with a desp = yes option. That is a fairly new addition
