Re: Need your help (was RE: [media-and-entertainment] new commits pushed by ashimura)

The issue (for the first URL, at least) appears to be that proofpoint is 
including the trailing colon in the URL.

For example, if you click on it, it takes you to:

https://github.com/w3c/media-and-entertainment:

If you then go to the URL bar in your browser and remove the colon:

https://github.com/w3c/media-and-entertainment

Then you get to the correct location.

This kind of processing is usually invisible if the email is delivered in the HTML format (the text of anchor element representing the web link stays the same, while the actual link is modified) but with plain text emails the original links are no longer visible.

I realize this is an odd request, but if you simply forward the original unmodified email to me it will be processed in exact same way and I won’t be able to see the original GitHub URL.
