Verification URL in Trac is incorrect

[philknerr]

I created an account on Trac in order to report the bug which is now Ticket #346. After creating an account, I got the following verification e-mail:

Subject: [Eraser] Trac email verification for user: philknerr

[The token is redacted because I don't know if it's sensitive, e.g., possibly someone could hack this account on Trac knowing the token? The at-signs in the e-mails were replaced because Trac doesn't seem to like them.]

The URL above would not work if one clicked it. I guessed that it should be preceded by " http://eraser.heidi.ie"; this in fact worked. It's likely that an unsophisticated user trying to report a bug wouldn't figure out as much, and might just not bother to report the bug.

I'm currently using a text-only e-mail client (e.g., one that doesn't render HTML). This is probably irrelevant, as the e-mail doesn't even appear to have a text/html part.

This looks like a Trac bug. Maybe we should upgtade the plugins:  http://trac-hacks.org/log/accountmanagerplugin/trunk
