Okeedoke.

BTW, whatever version of SquirrelMail you're using apparently doesn't handle
UTF-8 properly. :)

That's just because the default excerpt length is 200.  If you had a longer
URL, you'd experience the same problem.

Ick.

OK, this is definitely a bug.  Please file.

IMO the desired behavior is to truncate at one less than $excerpt_length and
append an ellipsis.

For now, I'd suggest a workaround of keeping around a second $highlighter with
a longer excerpt length and performing the truncation yourself.
