Ok. Now I understand :)

Great, thanks.

You mean:
[Jan.Minar@seznam.cz: Bug#171267: doc-linux-html: Mis-editions in the
Module-HOWTO]
?
It seems to be the default behavior of the mutt mailreader. I dunno if
this is backed up in any RFC or something like that. You have to ask the
mutt authors ;)

There is
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=170374
but I don't know if it is a valid bug (because I don't know how links to
other HOWTOs are handled generally). Please look at it and just say
me if you intent to change it or not.

Not filed as a bug yet: I think you should replace all occurences of
linuxdoc.org with tldp.org

Gruesse,
