Thanks for the patch! The logic seems sensible, but it's a bit difficult to figure out where the first part goes, since the TWikiAlphaRelease has changed since the version you diff'ed - if you could do a context diff, as mentioned in PatchGuidelines, it would make it easier to apply this.

In the past we made several changes to the links in mailnotify to make it compatible with all kinds of e-mail clients. Your fix needs to be tested against many clients before we can take it into the release. What kind of problems did you have, with what kind of clients?

This topic should to be moved to the Codev web. (After Patrick has read this)

As far as I can tell from the diff above, it's just a change in the URL inside <A HREF>. I don't see how this suggested change could cause any problems to mail clients.

According to TWikiVariables, the (old) %SCRIPTURLPATH% is merely the path of the script: /cgi-bin without the host, whereas the (new) %SCRIPTURL% is the entire URL: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin, and that sounds right.
