Hi,

This is an interesting problem. I suggest that instead of using a HTML
link by default, we use a custom route, something like:

http://myserver/users/123456-username/activate/64793369eac2b9763a11f9d2d4da92eb71dfbd34

I just created a ticket in Lighthouse about this:
https://hobo.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8324-hobo/tickets/1022-possible-issue-with-default-activation-link-with-some-browserswebmails

Regards,
Ignacio
