Messaging deletes all formatting

[ajburls]

Messages lose all formatting on being sent making them unattractive and hard to read.

@ajburls A screenshot would be great if you have one! We didn't have things like bold and italics as requirements but it losing line breaks or spacing?

@iteles Loses everything.

(Cant understand why this wouldn't just have been set up like the "about us" box etc - it doesn't make sense to assume that anyone would want messages to be continuous plain text so basic formatting and ability to have hypertext links is not something that should need to specified as a "requirement", as it wasn't for these other items.)

@ajburls The 'about us' input box currently uses a third party to format the text. This comes with a pop-up notification unless your have the premium version.

I can add this solution to the messages but this would mean that client admins would also see this message.

@ajburls has confirmed that this is fine for now and that she will explain this to the client admins as needed.

After looking into this a little I have seen that the popup comes with default classes that TimeMCE add. Using these classes, we should be able to hide the pop-up by changing the css class to display: none;

This solution will work to hide the pop-up from the users but if TinyMCE ever update the class names it might display the pop up again.

I will implement this solution for now as it should not have any side effects.

The solution suggested above will work for all messages sent after this solution is deployed but any messages that were sent beforehand will not be formatted.

I have looked at the database and seen that there is only one message that has been sent so far so this should not be too much of an issue.
