Hi,
For about as long as they've been around, I've been using the HTTPS urls for Wikipedia and sister projects. Right now, there is basically no way I'm leaving the secure site, with one exception: the email messages I receive when I have a new message or when a watched page changes. This is annoying, because I'm not signed in on HTTP and I cannot track those visits.
Is there any way I can "tell" MW I want to receive emails with the https urls? If not, is there at least a bug for that?
It's because the URLs are based on who was using the wiki at the time and caused the e-mail to be generated. If I'm using HTTP, you'll get an HTTP e-mail.
Really, we should probably make this always fall back on HTTPS when it exists.
