Issue Summary
Hi,
I would like to use this module to allow users in a group to send emails to the other users. I've installed it and it works fine, but when I use FCKEditor to edit the text of a message, the HTML tags are inserted as they are instead of being converted to the formatting they stand for.
Ex. I get
Test message
as the text of the message instead of getting just the text in a paragraph.
Is there a way to configure/fix this? It would be nice to be able to link this to Drupal's input filters...
Thanks.

The issue editor "resolved" my paragraph tags to newlines, and this is exactly what I would like the email sent via the Contact form to do...

As someone who uses an old school text email reader, I tend to be against HTML in emails; email is a text medium, not a web page. However I recognize the reality that people love to send HTML emails. This however is not why its not in OG Contact.
Most of my design decisions with OG Contact are dictated largely by the core Contact module. I want to replicate that functionality on the group level, and not develop some form of OG based mass mailer. The lack of HTML in messages are something that is inherited from the Contact module. I am a little hesitant to start working on this, because it will introduce a whole bunch of issues having to do with which HTML tags are acceptable for email.
For now, I would like to keep the module simple. I can be convinced otherwise, but in general I think leaving email as plain text makes sense. I am happy to look at any patches that would achieve this.
