I have a workflow attached to an announcements list. The workflow is supposed to email the announcement to a group of people.
The body of ther announcement is included in the email.
This works, however  in the body of the announcement there is a hyperlink with an anchor (url / href).
When the url is from another server it sends the url in the email properly.
When the url is from this site itself, something is trimming the front of the https://domainname/sites/somesite , resulting in a relative url like so /sites/somesite. What is doing this, and how can I stop it? The relative url is not clickable from the email, obviously.

thanks much!

Bob
