Description Andyrom75 2014-07-17 11:09:22 UTC
I'm not able to attach the email that I receive through MS Outlook live.com website, however, although the shown text is correct, the link associated is wrong, here few examples:

Text: See bug https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66888, too
Link: https://show_bug.cgi/?id=66888

Impossible to analyze without the raw email attachment attached (or forwarded as a full attachment, not quoted).
 :(

Let me extract some HTML code from the bugzilla mail.

Although in the HEAD section is used the base tag:
<base href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/" />

Inside the mail are used both absolute and relative addessed like:
1) Absolute
<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" title="RESOLVED DUPLICATE - Links to other languages on mobile version don't link to mobile version" href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68063#c6">Comment # 6</a>

2) Relative
See bug <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_PATCH_TO_REVIEW " title="PATCH_TO_REVIEW - iPad tablet to mobile redirect not working (cookie or cache-related?)" href="show_bug.cgi?id=66888">https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66888</a>


All the absolute links are correctly shown, while all the relative links create problems.


To widen the compatibility of the emails I suggest to use only absolute links.
