<br>
Just curious, but why on earth do all the links in this mail look like this:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=9826224&msgid=161132&act=52JX&c=165637&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.icann.org%2Fen%2Fannouncements%2Fannouncement-15jul08-en.htm" target="_blank">http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=9826224&msgid=161132&act=52JX&c=165637&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.icann.org%2Fen%2Fannouncements%2Fannouncement-15jul08-en.htm</a><br>

instead of this:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-15jul08-en.htm" target="_blank">http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-15jul08-en.htm</a> ??<br>
<br>
It's just very unexpected!<br>
