Joel,
The only technical 'change' I have made to the formatting of the message is to include both a plain text version and an HTML version of the email. My guess is that Thunderbird is doing something odd with either version and not making the obvious HTTP references links. Not to knock you and Rob at all, but I hadn't heard this mail app mentioned in like 10 years until this thread, so I am fairly sure it's not a widely used mail app these days. That said we are working with Jim S. code here, not a 50 person web development team at a major online company.

It would be helpful if you could forward me a copy of the version you are getting to: [email protected]

I am still planning on making further changes to the format of the HTML messages, so perhaps I can get them working still for you and Rob (and anyone else not seeing them as links).

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

Can I ask you to undo whatever the very last change you made to the code yesterday, to get the links to work in Thunderbird, as the links now don't work for those of us who don't use Thunderbird?

Instead of going to the thread, the link directs the browser to //mandrillapp.com/***

I will email you a screen shot of the webpage that is brought up after the link is clicked.

Unless there's some other tweak you can make to fix this the rest of us (not using Thunderbird) now have to copy and paste the link, rather than clicking on it.
No offense to Thunderbird users but isn't it better to keep 90% of the people happy than the 10% who use Thunderbird?

I get the feeling you're not going to win, either way Jim...

this may fix it

I click ok, and at 1st I'm directed to mandrillapp.com, then it goes to the right thread on Aeroscale. It's better then before, so if this is what it is, it's still better then nothing.
