Summary | 0023994: Markdown in MantisBT notification emails | ||||
Description | Currently when MantisBT sends a notification email, these emails are in plaintext The markdown language content should be stripped in the case of plaintext emails. | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
Markdown is generally designed to be readable in text format. This is one of the core prinicples of markdown. I think that removing markdown will not work since the document will loose its structure (e.g. url of a link, the fact that something is meant to be a header, a table, etc). The right thing to do here is to either turn off markdown for your instance or we use the same effort towards moving to HTML emails. |

Markdown is very important for me since i use EmailReporting to imports emails to issues/notes. Sometimes those emails contain data tables which are unreadable without markdown support So HTML emails would be the preferred solution |
|
Small addition Personally my interest for notifications are very simple on any other event only the first 2 lines of the email are needed
As for the readability of markdown. Yes it's readable but the average employee at the company i work at (who knows jack-shit about markdown) will find it anything but readable. They don't know its purpose and will find it be messy |
