Nabble registration key URLs broken in SilkyMail, strange but working in Apple Mail

[Graham Perrin]

In some e-mail clients:

• URLs for registration are broken (truncated).

I wonder whether failures will be more or less likely if the URL is enclosed in angle brackets.

SilkyMail is a preferred webmail interface at University of Sussex and at Freeman Centre alone (my place of work on this campus) we have potentially 200+ University of Sussex users who may be encouraged/required to register for Nabble. The likelihood/hope is that most users will use a client other than SilkyMail, but I'd prefer the registration routine to be faultless.
