Okeedoke.
BTW, whatever version of SquirrelMail you're using apparently doesn't handle
UTF-8 properly. :)

That's just because the default excerpt length is 200. If you had a longer
URL, you'd experience the same problem.

OK, this is definitely a bug. Please file.
IMO the desired behavior is to truncate at one less than $excerpt_length and
append an ellipsis.
For now, I'd suggest a workaround of keeping around a second $highlighter with
a longer excerpt length and performing the truncation yourself.
