Bummer.  Guess that it's either the sort of URL-wrapping problem
others have suggested, or you're in some sort of DNS "shadow" with
respect to the oven.com domain.  A workaround for the latter is to
just substitute in the machine's IP address, thus:

http://204.143.186.94/temp-displays/jpeg-nonmac-gamma/c3991013-16%5bescal%5d0705.jpeg

(...and leaving the filename and a level of directory off should even
result in something short enough that all email clients should leave
it alone, and supply you with a more general entry point to boot:)

Computers.  Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em in the CPU.
