Strange Behavior: Hyperlinks are transformed in the Email body from absolute to relative

[Vlad Koby]

Hi All

I have a strange problem on my portal.
I have an email-blasting page on the portal that uses FreeTextBox to edit
the message body. There is also a subject field and a couple of drop down
lists to select a group or a person to send an email to. There is also a
Send button that initializes an email message and calls a WebMail function
to send this message.
Everything works perfect except one small detail.

If I use FreeTextBox to insert a Hyper Link that references a page on my
site the recepients will receive a message with the links transformed from
absolute to relative. For example <a
href="http://www.mysite.com/mypage">http://www.mysite.com/mypage</a> will be
transformed to <a href="/mypage">http://www.mysite.com/mypage</a>.

There are two strange things about this:
1. It is transformed somewhere outside the portal because Message.Body stays
correct through the whole email sending procedure.
2. It does not transform hyperlinks added dynamically at a runtime, only the
links added through FreeTextBox get screwed.

Is there any way to fix it? I will be greateful for any comment on this.

Thank you very much.
