This sounds like a bug in urlview (or possibly w3m).  Probably best to
try to isolate the problem (figure out, for problem URLs, what they have
in common; and determine exactly which piece of software is failing to
parse them) and report it to the relevant bug-tracker.

hitting "v" to view attachments, hitting  to view it with w3m and
finally Ctrl-B to bring up urlview of the links I found that the button's
link was truncated.  What would cause this and how might I remedy the
situation for the future?
