'Send to Friend' E-mail breadcrumb links not working

ref: "Problem links in content that is emailed" (http://drupal.org/node/511724)

Without repeating detail from the referenced link in the line above, is it possible to convert the relative links to absolute links in print_mail.tpl.php in the following line from that file?

<div class="print-breadcrumb"><?php print $print['breadcrumb']; ?></div>

I noticed that Hotmail ignores the base ref also. I really want these links to work.

Thanks.
