I've noticed this too, and have been trying to determine where the
problem is.  I believe this is either a bug in Mail.app or just plain
incomplete link handling code in Mail.app.  I see mail come through
that regularly works (same type of email, though at different times,
from different sources), and a certain class that never works.

This doesn't seem to be browser dependent at all (I use Safari, IE,
Netscape, and a few others at odd times, and each has served its
time as my default browser).  It does seem to be a problem directly
in Mail.app.

I wonder if there is an error log file kept somewhere for Mail.app.
Anyone know?
