Will this ever be implemented in either the description field or comments field? It would be nice to have ordered/numbered lists, bold, underling, italics....etc to apply in those fields.
Longer answer: I want to do this, yes, but I have no idea when I will get around to it. I'm a bit .. overworked these days. :-) I'd love a patch from someone, though, and getting the basics in place shouldn't be very hard.
I've had some attempts at contributions from users in the past, but they've always disappeared and gotten a life, a new job, kids, or whatever. I'm hoping someone will join in on a more permanent basis at some point though, especially as I end up doing more and more support these days. :-)
I thought about that as well, and most of it should be possible to strip from the text going out in the email. And with a bit of cunning list conversion, it might even look OK. :-)
