Hi,

I subscribed to digests on Discourse instances and read my emails in plaintext. Huge 👍 for having a really usable and readable plaintext version!

However, I recently discovered that some HTML tags were present in the digests when server lacks some translations. For instance, consider the unsubscribe link from the digest, translation is [here](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/config/locales/server.en.yml#L2627), but is not available in the French locale.

Resulting email has following content in plaintext:

```plaintext
<span class="translation_missing" title="translation missing: fr.user_notifications.digest.unsubscribe">Unsubscribe</span>

```

with the unsubscribe link reference below. I would have expected it to be something like

```plaintext
Unsubscribe [3]

```

(where `[3]` is the reference of the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email body).

Thanks!
