Hi

My site members are getting emails that say this:

To read your message, follow this link:
http:///privatemsg

If you don't want to receive these emails again, change your preferences
here:
http:///user/18/edit

Do I need to be setting the base URL for my site somewhere in the module?

Thanks

The cause of this disease is unknown, but the cure is to set $base_url in settings.php.

In Subscriptions I've added 

    if (empty($_POST) && (substr($url, 0, 8) == 'http:///' || substr($url, 0, 17) == 'http://localhost/')) {
      drupal_set_message(t('Your installation returns %url as the base URL of the site. This is probably not what you want, and it can usually be fixed by setting the %variable variable in your %file file.', array('%url' => $url, '%variable' => '$base_url', '%file' => 'settings.php')), 'error');
    }

to alert the admin to the issue. If Privatemsg were still using Subscriptions for sending notifications, it would get this for free. :-)

See #226335: Incorrect URL in Subscription Email.

This seems like an ugly hack. lets find the real root of this problem.

Sorry for pinging the participants, I am closing old issues.

This version of Privatemsg is not supported anymore, maybe it is already implemented in Privatemsg for Drupal 6 and if not, you are welcome to open a new issue for it.
