Are you describing Lotus/SAP Alloy or Extended Notifications here? I have never 
seen this behaviour in extended notifications (but then again, since we never 
got the links working as desired due to federated portal issues we don't send 
any links in the e-mail at the site which has extended notifications and uses 
SSO).

If this is for Extended Notifications, this must be standard behaviour only in 
specific cases, e.g. for decision tasks where links for each decision option 
would have to be present or for tasks where the method implements the 
IFAPPROVE interface or something similar.
