Description
Steps to reproduce
- View the message list in any mailbox
- Sometimes it looks off (listed below)
Expected behavior
The preview text should look like the text when you open the mail.
Actual behavior
Sometimes the text includes:
- ALL-CAPS of text which is normally written in the original mail (like for our own notifications, see screenshot below)
- Alt-text of images in
[Brackets], unnecessary inclusion (see below) - Links rendered in
[Markdown style](https://example.com), also unnecessary to include the link part, only the text is enough.
