Hmm...I can't really do anything about yahoo sucking....they are standard URLs. Work fine for me in Thunderbird.

Based on the error, I think yahoo's system is just broken.

I kind of got the same problem, but I think it's a break in Yahoo's urls. The first link is broken, but when I get these mails, it's part of a chunk of html or something. There's the same link about next line down, and by clicking on that, I can still get to the right page just fine.

Does that help at all?

Can you post the email as it appears in yahoo?

I assume this is a recent change? I haven't changed the notification emails in months.

Ok, Trinity fire is right the second one is working, I hadn't even noticed they where the same link.

I Could not even tell you how long it's been like this, the only time I read them and follow the link is when It is a comment reply. the others I just go to whatever users gallery mentioned in the subject when I get online here.

I think I noticed that it started around Wednesday, Thursdayish? I would say it was the turkey day that it started not working...

Thats a broken html anchor link. My emails don't have any html.

Contact Yahoo tech support, their system is making bad links.

Also, since those are plain-text URL's, you [i]should[/i] be able to copy and paste them like any normal text. Hotmail does something similar where whenever you're reading a plain-text e-mail it formats the links weird (in a manner similar to a pop-up), but if you copy & paste the URL text it works just fine.
