For what it's worth, when I clicked on that link, it brought me to the
google page, and asked me if I was sure I wanted to turn on the html
only (or whatever it was) feature of gmail. I have a gmail account only
because some sites require it. I have never once actually checked said
mail, and never plan to.
But, it did work.

Am I missing something, the only thing I see in your message is a gmail
URL that doesn't work...
Right, gmail URLs are per-person. mail.google.com/mail/u/0 is the
mailbox of *your* primary logged-in google ID. For anyone else, that
URL means 'the message with this hash key in *my* mailbox', which is
vanishingly unlikely to exist; and if it did, it wouldn't be the same
message anyway.
If you want to forward text out of a gmail message, you need to forward
the text, not a gmail URL...
