That is very possible as well. It would have been better for bard to
redirect to a page not found error rather than this.
I checked the link through an add on I use with thunderbird and below
are the results, which aren't suprising since no connection can be made.

Error
Can't fetch file pointed by your url. This may be caused by several reasons:
* Remote file is not available (not found, requires authentication,
permission denied)
* Remote site is down, or very slow, or busy
* No network connectivity between Dr.Web online server and remote
web-site
* File too big
