This works for me with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6pre) Gecko/20091107 Shredder/3.0pre . the link at the end of the email is working fine for me. Are there more than one link in that email ?

If you have the same result in safe-mode can you try to reset default browser?
