 As a subscriber of the i-d-annou...@ietf.org list, I generally prefer
 reading the HTML version of the draft rather than the TXT version.
 
 I thus often need to manually rewrite the TXT link to fetch the HTML
 version of the draft. I can not believe I'm the only one.

Yup, you are not the only one -- this annoyed me sufficiently that I finally 
gave in and wrote a Chrome extension to do this for me.
Basically it watches the address bard and looks for www.ietf.org/id/foo and, 
depending on the setting in the options page, will redirect to the Tools or 
Datatracker.

So, if I follow a link like http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idr-as0-03.txt 
the extension will notice and rewrite it to 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-as0-03 (or 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-as0/ ).

This is my first extension/ javascript, and it's not particularity polished, 
etc but if folk are interested it is on the tools page ( http://tools.ietf.org/ 
) or, direct: 
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aiccdpabeagpjcebilebhlifplfkinao


Share and enjoy.

 Hence, would it be possible to also include a link like
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-name in the mail of the announced
 draft?
 
 Cheers,
 Xavier

Inspired by that, I wrote a completely trivial (one-line) Greasemonkey
script this afternoon, to do it for Firefox.  It's so short that I'll
just paste it below.  Works nicely.
