p.1 #1 · Links in notification emails aren't clickable any more?
It appears that between 9/19 and 9/20 there was a change to the format of the notification emails I receive when someone replies to a forum thread I'm subscribed to.
On (and before) 9/19 the email messages looked like:
'<someone>' has replied to a FM Forum thread you subscribed to.

but in my email client, the link to read the post is not clickable, so I have to manually copy it and paste it into my web browser to view the forum post. Interestingly, "Manage your subscriptions", "www.fredmiranda.com", and "xxxxx" are recognized as links and are clickable.
Is anyone else seeing this? It is certainly only a "first world problem", but having to manually copy the link, open a new tab in my browser and paste the link is quite inconvenient.

By the way, I've updated the code. Please let me know if it's working for you now.
Unfortunately, I'm still seeing the problem, including in the email message I received notifying me of your message.
I just viewed the message source for one of the messages from 9/19 (where the link is clickable) and one from 9/20 (where the link is not clickable), and I see that the body of earlier messages is plain text, where the body of the newer messages contains both text/plain and a text/html message-parts. I assume that when there is only plain text, my email client (Mozilla Thunderbird) recognizes the HTML link and makes it clickable, but when there is a text/html message-part, it renders that HTML text using Mozilla's HTML renderer. I also noticed that in the text/html message-part, the link to view the post is not in an HTML anchor element (<a>...</a> which is probably why it is not rendered as a clickable link.
which is probably why it is not rendered as a clickable link.
