No clue in the header of your message what email agent you are using, but 
its broken, and did not honor the <> surrounding the link, instead cutting 
it off with its word wrap function before handing it to your browser.

That is one thing this elderly version of kmail does relatively well.

That said, the link in my reply would have been destroyed by the > >> 
additions of the quoting mechanism.  Back up to the original reply and it 
might work.  If you did do that, and its still a 404, change email agents.
