Add a configuration option to make Alma send e-mails in plain text only
It should be well known among responsibly acting software vendors that HTML e-mails pose a serious risk for IT security. Anyone who sends HTML e-mails (even such containing a plain text layer) tempts recipients unaware of this risk to do take potentially risky actions in their e-mail client. We as a library should be able to opt-out from tempting our users to do potentially risky things so please add a configuration option to make Alma send plain text only messages.

Just found idea https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173-alma/suggestions/19479604-alma-emails-provide-matching-plain-text-alternati which is not only closely related but, unfortunately, already closed for a reason that I do not understand.

I absolutely agree. This just adds to the questionable choices in implementing e-mail in Alma (e.g. wonky or lack of DKIM/SPF, forcefully attaching the institution logo to messages).
