Description

We could make HTML emails much more useful than plain-text emails, while keeping the plain-text look by adding links from some items, like builds and tests. However, it would be good to avoid requiring subscriptions to format an additional version of their message. Perhaps we could format Markdown or a similar language instead, and then render it automatically into the two versions? One fixed-width HTML with links, another plain-text without links (apart from those directly in the text).

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry point. Start by locating the existing plain-text email generation and the data used to build messages, then determine how builds, tests, links, and Markdown are represented. Done would require an agreed design and matching HTML and plain-text output without requiring separate subscriptions.
