Yes. There are problems with that redirect, especially if you try it without being logged in.
However, it is not impossible to extract the URL to the thread from the &url= parameter
in the E-mail. In some cases I have seen its parameters *doubly* escaped though,
which may be confusing to some. E.g. if you see %253D that would mean that
the first character (the percent sign) signalled an escaped hex character represented
by 25 but that itself is the hex value of a percent sign so the ultimate information value
of those five characters is _one_ equal sign (=), etc.

Try a different approach. E.g. open your Profile and see if the
thread it might have been for is listed in there. I would try looking
for that list *before* trying to use the links in the E-mail.
