Well I don't want to appear to defend Apple Mail too much here, but  
splitting a URL after a / can be seen as a natural location.

And in any case this wouldn't be a problem if Mozilla coders weren't  
lazy :-) (decoding rfc3676 (which is nearly 2 years old now) is  
trivial when you already do rfc2646 (format=flowed))

Or just buy a Mac ;)
