    Yes, this is the expected behaviour.  The link from the answered post points to the first solution in the thread.  You might be able to do something nifty with freemarker for the email template to calculate the number of solutions but unfortunately, at the moment this isn't an out of the box feature.  It would definitely make a good candidate for the ideas board.

     

    In the meantime you could change the template to something that alerts the reader to the fact that there might be multiple solutiions and that the link will take them to the first.  Even, just as you've said "Click here to be taken to the first solution in this thread".

     

    If you do fancy playing around with freemarker it might be worth visiting the developer boards for ideas/help.
