html tags in email text

[ihsaan-ullah]

@Didayolo

we need to test this on test server. I think this change should fix the issue

How to test:

Send an email to a participant with text:

**bold** [link](https://codabench.org)

Participant should receive:

bold link

Participant should not receive:

<strong>bold</strong> <a href="https://codabench.org">link</a>

Why I think this is fixed?

Before the fix, I see the following in the django logs:

<p>&lt;strong&gt;bold&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://codabench.org"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;</p>

after the fix I see this:

<p><strong>bold</strong> <a href="https://codabench.org">link</a></p>

If this fixes the problem, then I will cleanup and add some comments

The mail service from the test server seems to have a problem.

• I sent an email from codabench.org it worked
• I sent an email from codabench-test.lri.fr it did not work

Linked issue:

• email all participants markdown to html broken #930

With noreply@codabench-test.lri.fr it does not work:

I think we need to create this email noreply@... associated with the domain codabench-test...

But we can still test this fix right?

[Didayolo]

Yes, we can still test the fix. I'll do it. The mailing problem is simply a configuration problem of the test server.

@bbearce I forgot that we assigned you to this review. I am already doing it right now 👍
