Plain Text emails for shared files and folders

[sunjam]

This request is for adding Plain Text Emails as an alternative to html-only. See this related discussion on the forum.

• html formatting of emails confuses recipients because they view them as spam.
• >>File<< in email subject and body looks like spam. Could it either be File with no marks or "File" which recipients are used to seeing in email.
  • or, format the name in the subject as Google Drive does. Example Folder - Invitation to Edit
• html clients, including Gmail, do not display pictures by default.

In Place Of

It would be much cleaner to simply send plain text. Google Drive Email Example:

John@cloud.example.com has invited you to edit the following folder: "Shared"

John: Hey, here is the template.  When you fill it out, make a copy.

Open in
https://cloud.example.com/s/did

These sorts of Google Drive emails specify if you were given view or edit access in the body. They also skip any sorts of <<marks>> that are unnecessary. And, include user comments within the body of the email. #18319

I think this should already be possible. See #17187 (comment)
Please reopen if this shouldn be the case. Thanks!
