Okay, smarta***.

Instal PINE (preferably version 4.64, to reproduce this properly) on 
your Linux, and configure it to receive email (but not delete it from 
your IMAP or POP server, so you can revert to using your previous email 
application).

Then forward the message to yourself, from your existing email 
application, so that you receive it in PINE, as I had done.

Then, try to copy the URL from PINE, and paste it to a browser window 
URL text box

Then, IF you can do that, you tell us how you managed to do it.

And, the question remains unanswered - what is the secret name of the 
conference, that is so secret that it could not be included in the 
original email message in the thread, that concealed the new name for 
the conference, to hide it from the general public? Or, will Linux 
Australia be using the Cone Of Silence, when discussions about the new 
conference name are to be held, so that we are prevented from knowing 
the secret name of the conference?

This sounds increasingly much like the singer that used to be known as 
Ponce.
