Hi everybody.

I have a website running on Hobo 1.0 with thousands of registered users. 
Lately I've found a new problem with the email validation process, since in 
certain browsers (Internet Explorer apparently) with certains webmails 
(Hotmail?) the link does not open completely. Because it's a browser 
problem with some web-mail clients I think it would happend with other 
newer Hobo realeases too.

When the user clicks on the link below:

http://myserver/users/123456-username/activate?key=64793369eac2b9763a11f9d2d4da92eb71dfbd34

the browser opens

http://myserver/users/123456-username/activate?

(without the key string).

I think one possible solution is a better embedded link in the validation 
email with HTML.

Right now:

<%= user_activate_url :host => @host, :id => @user, :key => @key %>

So I use a HTML MIME format creating the following file:

       activation.text.html.erb 

And puntting inside the activation link in a proper HTML tag

----

<% @user_lang_link = "Click here to activate your account"   %>  
<% @new_html_url = user_activate_url :host => @host, :id => @user, :key => 
@key %>

<p> <a href="<%= @new_html_url %>"><%= @user_lang_link %></a> </p>

-----

I only found this because the large number of new users in different 
platforms, including mobile activations. 

Hope that this solution would be useful for you...

Best regards
Eddie
