Trivial
Description
See forum post http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,20360.0.html
In a CiviMail, the links of the form .../civicrm/extern/url.php work correctly since both the 'u' and 'qid' parameters are supplied.
However, if I visit the permalink page, those links fail since only the 'u' parameter is supplied.
The solution options are to either get civicrm/extern/url.php to work without the 'qid' parameter, or to somehow supply it. I don't think the second option is valid since permalink pages can be made publicly visible, and 'qid' is not meaningful in that case.
In the forum thread I suggest a fix which does the following if 'qid' is not present ...
- retrieve the URL solely on the basis of the 'u' parameter
- skips the creation of the "click through" event
I haven't yet tested that fix.

BTW, I wrote about two options, but I guess we can have both.
- apply a fix like the one I suggested
- add a 'qid' parameter to the permalink URL in the CiviMail so civicrm/mailing/view can create a page where each of the civicrm/extern/url.php links has the 'qid' parameter
I've tested this both with a qid and without.

Doh! I forgot to set the Priority on this issue: I reckon it's more than Trivial. It renders the permalink page useless if (some of) the links on it don't work.
