This is not a beta issue, and also not particular to HTML. TB!'s
viewers consider URLs ended when a basic set of characters is
exceeded. For example, if a URL contains a German umlaut, or a French
accent, TB!'s viewers will recognise only the part before this
character as a URL, the part after it is ignored. This was fine before
umlauts and accents were allowed in URLs, but the times have moved on.

There have been heavy discussions about this, to no avail. The
developers think that the sender should encode the URL's according to
RFC3986. Of course, this is not only unrealistic to ask of the sender,
it is also not necessary when receiving the mail with other email
clients.

So, it's a bug by design. Sorry for the clear words, but it's a major
drawback of using TB!, especially since I ask people who used to send
me large files by mail, to upload those files somewhere instead and
then just send me the link. Many of these links don't work in TB!, but
will work with many other software. It is good that you bring this up
during a beta phase, there is still a chance that this be fixed before
the release of v4.
