Markdown URL misfire on email-in text conversion

[Paul Everitt]

Jonathan Hooper reports:

"""
It looks like a form of structured text formatting is in place for email alerts. For instance, if I send the following as a blog comment via email: http://foo.com/a_really_long_url_link The email alert appears as:

http://foo.com/a<em>really</em>long<em>url</em>link

I suppose we should do away with any formatting of this type as it is a bit of "hidden" magic that we could do without.

Carlos, once we have budget again, we can get you to look at this one.

OK, please let me know when it gets green-lighted.

Chris is working in this general area anyway.

dear friend
how are you doing recently ?
i found a very good site : www.ecphones.com
I bought an Apple laptop a week ago from this site. Now, I have been received. This product quality is very good.
and price also very cheap. They also sell mobile phones, television sets, motorcycles and so on.
it is the best place for us to buy , or send gift to friends .
If you feel interested , just do it .don't miss this chance.
good luck*--+

Bringing this back as something we wanted to do after repoze.postoffice lands.

Let's move this out of the way for another milestone.

I suppose this one is better done by Chris.

[Chris Rossi (chris-archimedeanco)]

Hmm, this one is kind of tricky. We can't just turn off the formatter, because we do need to convert plain text emails into html blog entries. If we did nothing, there would be no formatting--not even paragraph or line breaks. But clearly the formatter is misbehaving in this case. I will investigate the options here and see whether there might be an upgrade to markdown2 which addresses this problem.

I'm going to mark this as Fixed Released. I asked Jonathan to give a test, if he reports it's broken, we'll re-open.
