What URL, please? My goto page is:
https://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/svc00100.nsf/pages/zosInternetLibrary?OpenDocument
... which links to:
What's New
April 2021 (1Q2021) - Refresh of z/OS V2R4 Adobe Indexed PDF Collection (1
GB)
... with compressed URL:
https://ibm.biz/Bdf23Y
If mailers wouldn't screw with URLS they wouldn't need to be compressed..
That fetches a .zip which extracts to:
./ZOSV2R4-!Q2021
(The "!" just means the writer was hasty with the SHIFT key.)
There I find:
580 $ find * -iname \*.htm*
1._Open_Me_First_zOS_V2R4_Adobe_Indexed_Collection.html
1._Open_Me_First_zOS_V2R4_Adobe_Indexed_Collection_files/1._Open_Me_First_zOS_V2R4_Adobe_Indexed_Collection_files.htm
They're radically different. Un-Kudos:
579 $ diff -s *.html */*.htm | wc
1715 4637 97895
I think one of them is what LBD mentioned

That might be controlled with Associations in your OS, or your File Manager(s),
Or your Browser(s), or your Mailer(s), or ...
Sometimes they work. Mostly they just fight with each other.
