HTML in plain text emails #5417

Closed xi closed 1 month ago

I just received an email to confirm my mail address. It contained HTML in the plain text part:

<p>
bitte bestätigen Sie Ihre E-Mail-Adresse um Ihr Konto auf mein.berlin.de freizuschalten.

I tried to dig into the code to see why this happens. It seems like most email templates overwrite {% block content %} which is used in both email_base.html and email_base.txt. The proper solution is probably to only use plain text inside {% block content %}, and additionally also overwrite {% block content_html %} if HTML is desired.

hi @xi, thanks for the issue and the research. We'll discuss it and hopefully come up with a fix soon.
