Hello

i have a question concerning the notification mail.
If there are bold words in the post, i the mail they are shown like this:
*bold words*
or
*bold words*

Where is the problem?

There is no problem. It works as designed. Emails will be sended as text only and since decades it is in different systems (Email, Usenet ...) a rule to mark bold text with *. It's the same as with italic text (/) or underlined text (_).

PS. my version is 2.0.1

PPS: That is very outdated. Actual version is 2.2.7.

Ok, Thank you.

Is there a possibility to send the mails in html-mode? I didn't find this point on the settings page.

I know that my version is a little bit outdated, but i make so many modifications in the code that i do not dare to update...

Regards and Thnaks!

No, there isn't. You need only the information about a new posting or reply and you'll get it. IMHO there is no need to send it as HTML. It would be unneeded overhead.

PS: Good[tm] email clients will show *bold* as bold.

Therefor its not totally unimportant...

Especially when every user gets a notification about every posting I would abdicate HTML emails.
