Yeah, I was informed of that patch off-list, thanks.

However, from my earlier mail:
--
This is almost exactly what I was thinking of, but done on the KDE 
(cvs|mail) server itself. Reasons being:

1. Not everyone uses KMail (heresy!)

2. Not everybody uses procmail (or similar) to filter incoming messages.

For example, I do some KDE stuff from work, via a plaintext SSH 
connection, X over the link is too slow. So, I read my kde-cvs mail 
using Eudora on Windows. If the link was in the body of the message, 
rather than the headers, it would be much easier for me to get to see 
what had actually been changed.

Currently, I have to open the message, click on "blah" to get the full 
headers, and then click on the link.

I presume I'm not the only person doing mail without kmail, so getting 
the link in the body would probably be better for more than just me.

However, I can live with it the way it is, I don't need to see the link 
for every commit...
