You can specify at a domain level
      FRIENDS_URL
or
      g_friends_url
(if it's the same for all domains)

or if neither of those it wil use the domain level setting 'url_host' 
which you might which to set anyway.

You can test the results using:
      tellmail friends_urlHIDDEN@omain.name
to see what url it will use.

For global/domain you must add this manually if you have tailored 
messages.

For users messages it uses a different template file, so they will get 
the domain/global default message unless/until they go back into their 
settings and re setup a friends message.  We thought this was the best 
approach as simply 'tacking on' the link into an existing message 
would not make it 'make sense' since it clearly has to say something 
different now.  Sorry this isn't ideal but we thought it was the 
lesser of two bad options.
