Auto Notifications should have options for HTML
For auto notifications, generated by a query, instead of just plain text, HTML should be supported. This is already supported in manually added notifications so should be on the auto-notifications also. We would use this to show different types of notifications in different colors to more quickly alert our staff to particular record types.
I don't see the harm in changing the default body format to be HTML instead of TEXT. The text emails should render fine with an HTML body type. At a minimum, it would be nice to configure this option.
