Although that specific eBay auction is over, these same links still show
my problem. Click on the first long URL (in a email viewed in Evolution)
and it'll take you to an eBay page that indicates that the listing has
been removed, or the item is not available. However, if you copy that
same long URL directly from the email viewed in Evolution, and then
manually paste it into Firefox, it'll correctly take you to an eBay page
that shows the auction has ended, and further down, you'll see the
specific item.

If you create a new OO Writer document, and paste that same long URL,
follow by a carriage return, copied from the email in Evolution, and
then right-click directly on that URL in the OO Writer document, and
select Open Hyperlink from the contextual menu, it correctly takes you
to the auction has ended page, as it should. No URL truncation, as in
Evolution.
