These bugs are still not fixed.

Email notifications still contain garbage css.

Email notifications have turned themselves on again without any action on my part.

Writing forum posts with two underscores still turns the text italic.

All of these have been reported before, but I can't tell if they are still on a to-do list somewhere, or if they are believed to be fixed and the fix didn't work, or if they have simply been forgotten. So I am reporting them again.

What's an example of the “garbage css” you see in email notifications?

You can turn email notifications off in your settings.

This is markdown formatting inherent to the editor. I don't have a solution for this right now. If this is happening with code, perhaps consider using the code style (can be initiated with 3 ` characters or selected from toolbar):

What's an example of the “garbage css” you see in email notifications?

Here is an excerpt from a notification I received, as it appears in my email client:

.wrapper {
  width: 100%; }

#outlook a {
  padding: 0; }
  
. . . snip a few more pages of this . . .

.wrapper.secondary {
      background: #F7FBFF;
    }

Yes, that's what I did, this time and the last time the notifications started to appear. The problem isn't that there's no way to turn off the notifications, the problem is that the notifications turned themselves on again.

I'm using Thunderbird 68.4.1 (64-bit) on Lubuntu. I also have View → Message Body As → Plain Text checked.

This is the key. I made a change yesterday that might help with this, but I haven't tested in your configuration. Guess we'll find out when you get this in email. ?
