	Could a Windows user please try these links? (210.6)
	One of my colleagues is having trouble getting to the specific articles represented by these links, and instead gets to a catalog page with titles and summaries for several articles. http://pawprint.cornell.edu/?q=articles/2012/06/cornell-catering-executive-chef-wins-regional-competition http://pawprint.cornell.edu/?q=articles/2012/07/chef-brings-home-national-silver-medal-and-first-in-people%E2%80%99s-choice They're ugly, but they ought to work, and I want to reliably link to the articles rather than a catalog people will have to dig through. Do they work for you? They work for me in multiple Mac browsers and on the iPad. Thanks for the help!

They worked for me in Firefox and Windows 2007.

I didn't put that semicolon there!

The semicolon is offered at no extra charge. Thanks for checking the links!

Those work for me in IE8 and Chrome on Windows XP. I get to the specific articles on both browsers.

I had the same problem earlier with a news link I posted on our work site. It was a redirect and the URL was long enough that it made the CMS go wacky. For some reason. er-pasting the link in the CMS worked.

Did you email them to the person having the problem? Is that person using Outlook? If so, that is likely the source of the issue. If Outlook detects what it thinks is a link in a plain text email it will turn it into a hyperlink. If there's a space in the link or if the text of the link is long and gets split at the line break (Outlook auto-splits long lines for display) then it does not always create a link out of the entire text. If this happens, the CMS might redirect to the catalog page. Try having her/him copy and past the text of the link instead of clicking the link or use a URL shortener.
