OK. Assuming this was what you intended, it cane back to me intact,
and the URL was functional. As it was served on the LISTSERV website,
the final ")" did not appear in the HREF= tag, but the URL was functional;
aparently it's inconsequential, perhaps the entire query-string something
added by a search engine for tracking.
I haven't the stamina to suss out what RFC 1738 intends to mean
concerning "(" and ")". I suspect it's safer to encode them,
making the URL:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150421132031.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed:+sciencedaily/strange_science+%28Strange+&+Offbeat+News+--+ScienceDaily%29
(That's how I Copied it from the Firefox URL window after opening it from
the echoed email.)
