Maggie,
But when I use that link it always takes me to the first message in
the topic.
Well, the subtle thing I noticed seems to have vanished. Now the topic link is used. I think that's a bug so I'll cc this to support.
Mark:
On emailed replies it would be much friendlier if the View/Reply Online link either used the direct message URL, or a topic URL with a fragment part specifying this message.
And I'll give a nod to Brenda's concern (in beta@) - I'd prefer the message URL in all cases (topic starter and replies), and it would be helpful too if the message number were in the text somewhere.

Hi Shal,
The "view/reply online" link works again, so Yay! Thanks for getting
that on the to do list. It a huge time saver! You said this:
One subtle thing I noticed, but I don't know if it is new, is that the
provided link ("View/Reply Online") is a link to the _topic_ if this
message is the first in a new topic, but is a link to the _message_ if
this message is a reply in a topic. That's kind of cool for the
topic-starting message, as it means you'll see any replies that beat you
to the punch.
