We have the Wordpress plugin set up to post full topics to an announcements category on our forum. This works pretty well, but the email messages Discourse sends out are marked `Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8`.
As I understand it, this is Technically True, as the expected format is markdown, which is kind-of-plain-text. But, of course, markdown _also_, for better or worse, includes “html is valid too, yolo!”.
And, in fact, the posts coming from Wordpress are a bunch of HTML.
How are other people dealing with this? Is there a way to get the posted-to-discourse versions be some reasonable-as-human-text markdown after all? Or, is there a way to force HTML content type for the mail generated in this category? Or… any other ideas at all? Thanks!
