# Plain text formatting

 * Hi, we are looking into using BNFW with the plain text formatting option enabled.
   While testing we noticed that BNFW sends any html in the content even with this
   option enabled, which is a bit of an issue for us. BNFW seems to only set the
   content type of the mail to text/plain. Would it be possible to convert the text
   to formatted plain text before sending the mail? Otherwise, are there any hooks
   available in BNFW we could use the modify the notification before sending?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@webteambd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webteambd/),
    Thanks for 
   reporting this – you’re good at finding bugs!
 * I will be looking into this but in the meantime, have you looked at the bnfw_notification_message
   filter?

 * Hi, just reopening to ask if you had a chance to look into adding this (conversion
   to plain text) to BNFW. That would be our preferred option.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@webteambd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webteambd/),
    No news as 
   yet but it´s on my todo list.
 * Did you take a look at the filter I suggested too?

 * Hi, thank you for the update.
 * We had a look at the bnfw_notification_message filter, but it looks like it is
   not used for all notifications. There are other ways to filter the notifications,
   but we think the cleanest solution is if BNFW converts the text to plain text.

 * Hi [@webteambd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webteambd/),
    Sure.
 * This is actually the next thing on my list of things to fix so am hoping something
   will be out soon.
