I posted this to Jane privately, but since it's been brought up....
For future reference, if you want to make a more email-compatible URL
-- especially a very long one -- put it inside angle brackets, like so:
<http://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&col=component&milestone=2.8&keywords=~has-patch
>
This is a standard as old as email itself, and is pretty universally
understood by email clients.
Without the brackets, some email clients don't know to make that URL
clickable, and when they do make it clickable, some don't know quite
where the URL ends. For instance, in Apple's "Mail" app, [and
apparently in GMail], I can click on the URL, but it doesn't know to
include past the tilde at the end, so the "~has-patch" bit is left
off. Kind of important, that. ;-)
