Still works for me (in MSI Explorer 6). 

Because the mailing list software has folded the 
url onto mutliple lines, I had to painstakingly copy 
and paste the separate parts into the browser to 
recompose the whole url before clicking enter
(or use a text editor to do the same job)

In the original spam message it was all much more 
straightforward. I just clicked the link.

Out of curiosity, I just tried it out with Opera and 
that has the same issues as MSIE and redirects
to the spam site without difficulty.

Instead, Firefox was not fooled: like spamcopuri
it gets a forbidden error and does not redirect.
