Bitu group approval emails are hard to read because of an unformatted text/html part
Open, In Progress, LowPublic

Description

I got an email about being approved for a group. This is very hard to read because the email is formatted as a plaintext wrapped email with ASCII formatting, but in addition to a text/plain part the contents are included as a text/html part. The result is a mail that looks like this:

Instead Bitu should either send a mail with the text/plain part only, or format the text/html part as HTML instead of plaintext.

Oh, yeah that look annoying.

I think it makes sense to just fix the html template, given that most probably have html capable email clients.
