ITSI HTML Email Action

Hi All,

Is it possible to actually put HTML tags in the message? I've seen some other threads that say you need to modify the underlying code for the email action, but that seems crazy that the Type says HTML & Plain Text if you can't actually have HTML in there. Whenever I've tried it, it just prints the literal text of the html without interpreting it.

Example:

Config:
Message:
<b>This is my field</b>

Output:
<b>This is my field</b>

Desired Output:
This is my field

alt text

alt text

Is there a way to do this without creating a custom action to send a custom formatted email?

Thanks!
