Description

What steps does it take to reproduce the issue?
Logging into Dataverse and downloading or uploading data via Globus. Upon completion, you will receive an email in your account's mailbox.

  • When does this issue occur?
    Upon completion of a Globus upload or download.

  • Which page(s) does it occurs on?
    In the resulting emails

  • What happens?
    Unlike other emails, the html tags aren't correctly parsed and show up as plain text. We tried adjusting the messages in the properties bundle, but the
    after "Hello," still remains, as this is a separate entity, used in other messages as well (where it does seem to get parsed correctly).

  • To whom does it occur (all users, curators, superusers)?
    All users

  • What did you expect to happen?
    For the globus emails to look like all the others when it comes to html parsing.

Which version of Dataverse are you using?
6.7.1

Research direction

Start by reproducing a Globus upload or download and inspect the resulting email, comparing its HTML handling with other Dataverse emails. Trace the email-generation entry point and the properties-bundle messages; the work is done when Globus email tags render as HTML, including the line break after “Hello,”.
