It didn't work because there was a full stop after the URL which got included in the link. I copied and pasted and removed the full stop and it worked.
The version you have below doesn't have the full stop and it works from the email (for me anyway).
(Interesting comments, troubling issue, thanks for sending)

Apparently the URL I sent out does not always work from inside an email message- for whatever mysterious reason. The URL is http://boingboing.net/2012/06/14/supreme-librarians-in-metaspac.html - if that gets you a 404, copy and paste it into your browser and it should work.
