Make notification emails multipart (plain-text friendly)
The notification emails are HTML only, which is a pain when you read your mails in plain-text mode (or if you use, say, mutt).
The mails should be multipart : a plain-text version and a HTML one.
This feature is complete and shipped with v4.2

IMHO it would be great if the "plain text" version would be recognizable as markdown. This can either be done by using the Content-Type "text/markdown" or (probably safer) by using "Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; markup=markdown", which is supported by e.g. MailMate (see https://blog.freron.com/2011/thoughts-on-writing-emails-using-markdown/ for a discussion of this).

not sure if this is the same, but it would be good to render markdown to HTML for the multipart emails. It is annoying to get email notifications that are raw markdown instead of formatted as they are in mattermost.
