Hi all,

We ran into an issue where messages sent that consist of an attachment as per:  
[https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/message-attachments.html](https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/message-attachments.html)  
don’t show anything in email notifications. I was wondering if this was intended?

I can imagine sending the formatted text is difficult, but part of the message attachment is a fallback string and including this in the email notification should be feasable.

Kind regards,  
Louis
