Workarounds
Use either of the following workarounds if you're not ready to update:
- Copy the entire URL from the Mail message and paste it into your browser's address field. Do not copy any enclosing characters because your browser may not work with them. For example, don't copy the "<" or ">" if they appear.
- Remove "%0A" from the URL in your browser. For example, there is a line break in this URL after "Reference". In your web browser, the line break appears as "%0A":
URL in an email message that has a line break
URL in Safari with the line break "%0A" highlighted
To fix this, manually delete "%0A" from the web browser's address field, then press Return to open the page again.
