1617494 - Linked bug ids in comments sent in email notifications are improperly formed

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Email Notifications, defect)

Description

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

The bug ids that are turned in to links in HTML email notifications are missing the hostname portion of the URl. Such as bug 123 is linked to https://show_bug.cgi/?id=123. Notice the extra / as well.

Extra note: Other places where bug ids are displayed such as in the comment header or diff table are linked properly.

I don’t see any issue in recent emails. All links look good to me in Thunderbird. Here’s the source of the previous comment:

    <div id=3D"comments">
        <div>
          <div class=3D"comment" ><p>The bug ids that are turned in to link=

Such as <a class=3D"bz_bug_link

    </div>

IIRC there was a discussion about email clients not supporting <base href> but we haven’t see any reports these days, right?

Still broken in Zimbra web mail. Looks like it doesn't support the base href. Someone mentioned Zimbra in the duplicate report that you linked to as well, 8 years ago.
