I have had the same issue and Tom's response is exactly what I did. When I
send the email, I pass a variable that tells my gateway page where the person
is trying to go. It checks for the session variable and then sends it merrily
along AFTER they've logged in because it knows where to send the person as a
result of the variable I've passed in the URL.
good luck.
