------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
Well, I get the idea but I can't think about a way to get this solved in a 
satisfactory way.

You cannot assume that users want to use https because the user that updated 
the item was on https. If it only provides https, like Gna!, it should be set 
up like Gna! to rewrite any http url to https.

The only way to select https/http is to use the session information. But it 
implies using the setting of one session for all session. And, more annoyingly, 
it would force us to add a test on that for each mail and each recipient. 

I think it would increase the complexity of the code and resources usage 
without helping that much. After all, it does not cost that much to do rewrite 
like we do at Gna!
And if a user asked when creating is session to use https, he will be 
redirected on https as soon he is authenticated (so the authentication info 
would transit only once over http, acceptable to me).

So I would go for a close/wontfix, if you do not object. I admit that 
theoretically it would be best to have https where it is due, but the cost 
seems way to high.
