Watchdog messages that contain links get truncated too short. This patch replaces <a> tags with <em> tags on the overview page.

Won't a strip_tags call (retaining ems) be better?

There's plenty of better ways. I thought this was something that needed to be dealt with quickly.

Why don't we fix it right, then? This is not exactly a critical issue after all ...

Setting to 6-dev.

Personally, I would prefer a quick fix to having no fix until it's done "right". It's better for Drupal's image.

Does this problem still occur? In the meantime we have seen changes in both truncate_utf8() and the complete watchdog system.
If this still occurs, please provide a test case. Thanks!

This is a Drupal 5 bug. Apparently it's being retained to motivate users to upgrade.
