In the the `text/plain` version of emails from Discourse, `<img>` URLs are relative. For example, the email notification for [this post](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/external-calling-at-slicer-3d/136) has the full URL in `text/html`, but only the relative URL in `text/plain`.

I see there have been several related discussions and PRs in the past:

[https://meta.discourse.org/t/some-links-in-emails-not-including-the-full-url/11211](https://meta.discourse.org/t/some-links-in-emails-not-including-the-full-url/11211)

[https://meta.discourse.org/t/links-in-mail-lack-http-s-protocol/15794](https://meta.discourse.org/t/links-in-mail-lack-http-s-protocol/15794)

[Fix relative URLs in plain text emails by peternlewis · Pull Request #2448 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/2448)

But I don’t see any current/open topics regarding this issue. Is there a configuration option I missed, or any work-around available? (after a few rounds of tweaks, this is the last major complaint about email mode from our [die-hard mailing list user](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/email-mode-config-improvements/140)).
