links broken in forum update emails

When I get an email about a thread update, links to other forum threads contained in that update are broken. The "http://forums.ni.com" gets stripped out, leaving a non-functioning link that starts with "/t5/".  I think this is a recent problem, although I'm not sure since when.

 

In case the above isn't clear: I subscribe to a thread.  Someone adds a new message in that thread, containing a link to a post elsewhere on the forums.  I receive an email update with the contents of the new message, but in the email, the link is missing "http://forums.ni.com".

I think I see what happens - it looks like when you add a link in a post, it automatically removes the host portion of the URL if it matches the forum's host portion. You see this if you create a link in a post to another thread, and then go back to edit it by clicking the "chain" icon in the editor again - the URL is missing the host portion.
