Thanks! I had assumed that, and changed my mind.

It might be a bug in Opera's e-mail, which is a love/hate part of the
browser (also a love/hate entity, itself).
He shortens longer links in his monthly newsletter, and formats them (as I
see them!) as "...htmlor http://shortlink.com" (so to speak). It's that
trailing "or", without any intervening character, that has confused Opera.
I haven't read him for a while, and the fairly-recent version of Opera
that I'm using seems to act better.
Thanks much!
