I got a single report about links in the new thread notifications (which now include a fragment of the comment) not working on Thunderbird.
If anyone else has these issues, please post here.

Madison WI, United StatesIt's very bizarre. Some notifications come in with the link active, while others have some of the text in italic and the link is not active. This is in Thunderbird version 2.0.0.12 (20080213), just installed last night as well. The top image has a good link and the bottom one a bad link.

Madison WI, United StatesSomething else bizarre, when I used the image uploader for those screenshots above, the popup window was already loaded with a bunch of images I had just loaded to a blog post!

IE, CA, United StatesThe borked link looks like it could be a Thunderbird issue. It appears RoboCommunity may not it as an actual HTML hyperlink, rather just the URI surrounded by greater/less than signs? The lt/gt signs should cause Thunderbird to more easily notice the URI so it can convert to hyperlink in it's display. It would seem TB (haha) is applying the wrong function (italicize instead of link) to random URIs for some reason. Is this a whole seperate message, or is it like the second (third, etc...) one in a threaded list of emails? I don't use Thunderbird, so I take this whole paragraph with a grain of salt.
I believe the Image Upload setup here has a bit of memory, and firing the popup window will show all images you've uploaded recently. Something like within the last 24 hours, for example. Not sure just how long it really is.
Watch out, don't step in the anthropomorphization.
Hyperlinks are definitely in the text. I was afraid they were getting stripped by Thunderbird for some reason.

IE, CA, United StatesOf all stupid things, I forgot (as I often do) to click the "email me" box on my earlier post...

Madison WI, United StatesBut why are the links in some notifications fine, and others (where italicized) it is not? Why is it italicizing? (ps, this is with the View->Message Body As -> Simple text . If I set the View Body as HTML or Simple HTML, the comment snippet remains italicized but the link is now active. )
OK actually, looking at the message source code, perhaps the question really is, why is Thunderbird only sometimes using the 'i' tag (and then borking the link) when the message body view is set to 'Simple Text', and other times ignoring the italic tag but making the link hot. So anyway, just looks like a Thunderbird issue easily solved by viewing as HTML.

IE, CA, United StatesOkay, now that I've got a couple emailed to me... :)
Gmail seems to parse them fine. It does it's own thing though, automatically threading multiple messages and hiding tidbits that are duplicated across messages. Still though, all links work, plain-text source shows what seems to be normal looking HTML (minus various (probably gmail-inserted) symbols).
This is why I detest HTML email.
