Hi, when receiving mails from MW (e. g. when a watched page has been changed) i get only plain text mails. On installations of MW at WP, Commons, or here those mails contain clickable links. Is there an easy way to enable this feature or do i need to adapt the code for that? How is that done on WP or Commons?

Try setting $wgAllowHTMLEmail, although the page says "As of MW 1.23, HTML email is not yet used by MediaWiki itself", maybe it now supports it and the page is outdated.
