I’d disagree with the fact that it is not a bug. The root of the issue, is that there is a missing French translation, which I totally agree with.

But the issue I am reporting extend beyond the missing French translation. The true issue (in my opinion) is that if a translation is missing, plaintext emails get HTML tags in them. The `span` should be replaced by its content, in the plaintext version, in the case of a missing translation.
