570486 - Welcome mail is not formatted

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 571047

(Websites Graveyard :: drumbeat.org, defect)

Description

[Salve J. Nilsen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.38 Safari/533.4
Build Identifier: 

Under the "Messaging" field in the project edit screen, one can write the content of the welcome message sent to new project members.

This is nice and useful, except that any text formatting (like paragraphs, etc.) are completely stripped in the mail. The mail that's sent is just a block of plain text without any of the formatting added in the web form.

This sucks. :-(

I'd like to be able to offer new project member a useful welcome email, and being able to format it is a very important part of this (e.g. offer a list of URLs to check out, a few paragraphs about the project and perhaps a separate welcome blurb.)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add text to the "Messaging" field in the project edit screen, and save
2. Wait for email to arrive
3. Notice that any formatting saved has been removed in the email.

Actual Results:  
Email text has no formatting

Expected Results:  
Email text has simple formatting (text/plain formatting is sufficient for me)

Agreed! Working on it.
