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?
In the time you took to write this e-mail, you could've just searched Bugzilla for "https". :-)
I believe you're looking for these days:
* "Resolution of protocol-independent URLs for email messages should be based on preference of the receiver" https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29878
* "User preference for HTTP vs HTTPS while logged in" https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29898
* "Notification emails should link to https, not http" https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32769
As others have noted, you can use the "HTTPS Everywhere" extension for Firefox or Chrome to mitigate this issue.
