Description Sina Madani CLA 2019-10-28 18:54:59 EDT 
When receiving notification of a new topic or message being posted on the forum (at least on the OCL or Epsilon ones), the links are broken because they do not contain the full address, only the relative one. So the links in e.g. "Reply to" and every other hyperlink are in the format:

index.php?t=rview&goto=[numbers]#msg_[numbers]

but do not start with e.g. https://forums.eclipse.org/

This mean the links are unusable: one has to prepend the Eclipse forums URL and manually copy the links into a browser to make it work.

I suspect whoever wrote the generator forget to include the "base" URL to the Eclipse forums.

I have the full URLs in the emails. This could be your mail client or antivirus that is, perhaps, thinking these links are bad.

Closing as worksforme.
