Best practice for urls in emails?

[Dramus]

I am writing a turbogears app which sends emails to users when they are
accepted to join a moderated group. I want to enclose a link back to
the group in the e-mail. I am using turbomail to generate the e-mail
using a KID template, but when you use:

tg.url('/groupname')

The e-mail encodes the link only as the relative part of the e-mail.

I thought that what I needed was to set server.webpath =
'http://mysite.com' in the config, but that breaks lots of other stuff
but fixes the e-mail.

You end up with things like GET: /http://mysite.com/groupname Not Found

I was looking through the groups and found some refernces to a ticket
that was closed as won't fix that seemed to also deal with this.

So since that was closed as won't fix is there a best practice for
doing this kind of thing?

Take a look at cherrypy.request.path for the full URL of the request.

I think what you meant was cherrypy.request.base

you got me looking in the right direction though, Thanks
