Public bug reported:

There are several issues with plain text notification/email handling:

- there are two html2 text handlers used in the codebase: 
  1. if html2text is available that *can* be used, but it is not used everywhere;
  2. there is a html2plaintext function in tools/mail.py which does the same thing as html2text, but worse

- html2plaintext handles links nicely, but renders lists poorly, this is
the main bug here, which *needs* a change

The items below could be considered wishes:
- html2text renders a lot better, but is imported in such a way the option to set INLINE_LINKS to False is not reachable centrally
- the mail module explicitly calls html2plaintext for a body_alternative, while this can be handled automatically (by just not specifying the alternative)
- a couple of addons use html2plaintext: hr_recruitment, project_issue, crm_helpdesk, pad, mail, crm_claim
