Malformed Links

I'm looking for information on malformed links. I was comparing two emails via the link performance report. The emails were identical, the audiences were different. In one email, the link in question reports normally, in the other, the link reports as a malformed link. 

 

These are standard HTML links with UTM codes; no tokens, scripting, or other variables. Any ideas?

Please show the actual links, can’t do much without that.

 

Are you sure you don’t have extra whitespace in the href?

Link above reports as expected.

Yikes. Those are exactly the same.

 

But I forgot to ask — what makes you think it’s this link that’s malformed exactly? Doesn’t Marketo not display the link for the “Malformed link” category, IIRC?
