This is what I received twice, but there was no working url, only this:

However, the url thta is actually following
("http://savannah.nongnu.org/register/basicinfo.php?re_purpose=fcrackzip";)
obviously doesn't work. I assume that the rest of the lines should also be
part of the URL (it's formatted similar to a URL), but of course it isn't
a URL at all...

If pasting the whole thing actually works with some browser(s), better
specify the browsers with which that is supposed to work.

That is, telling users something like: "pasting the following as a URL
into mozilla" (as an example) would at least give a clue that it's not
really supposed to work with normal browsers.

(Better, of course, would be to just fix the mail to actually include a
real url instead of relying on savannah-specific url-extensions)

HTH,
