Description Tomas Capek 2013-07-31 08:44:23 UTC
I just randomly checked the update to the email formatting and found another small bug:



           What    |Removed                     |Added
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Flags|needinfo?(tfonteyn |needinfo+
                   |om)                         |


( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=983520 )

tfonteyn's email address above is split in two but the real problem is that only the first part "tfonteyn" is clickable in the email, pointing to

"tfonteyn"

When sending e-mail, Bugzilla will split long lines at commas or spaces. In the above case, there is no comma or space to split on, so it has no option but to split at the 20th character. Your e-mail client (not Bugzilla) then decided to hyperlink the partial e-mail address.

The solution to the problem is to enable HTML e-mail (Under the preferences page). With HTML e-mail the e-mail address will be complete.

This code comes from upstream Bugzilla.
