Clicking long links in (ebay) email messages goes to wrong site
Last modified: 2010-07-28 21:09:02 UTC
Recently, the emails I receive about my watched ebay items contain links that don't work. Prior to a few days ago the links in the emails were working. Now clicking on the item in the email gets to a page that says the item does not exist (incorrect) and clicking on the "SHOW" button gets to an ebay home page, not a list of the watched items. When I copy and paste the links directly into firefox, they work! Somehow, firefox is able to resolve rover... to ebay... but evolution is not able to. It used to work fine. What has changed? Perhaps the new links are too long for evolution. The bad item links are of the form: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11021.m45.l1123/7?euid=6058115621199786115&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D260641848784%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123 The SHOW button link is: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11021.m44.l1150/7?euid=6058115621199786115&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fws%2Fsearch%2FSaleSearch%3Fcoentrypage%3Dsearch%26saendtime%3D1280374907%26sabfmts%3D1%26dfsp%3D2%26copagenum%3D1%26coaction%3Dcompare%26from%3DR9%26sotrtype%3D1%26satitle%3Dwollensak%2B-cassette%26catref%3DC6%26version%3D2%26fstype%3D1%26sacategory%3D293%26_trksid%3Dm194%26sotrvalue%3D1%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1150
