comments entered via comments API when sent to messaging as notification: viewing them in message/index.php?viewing=recentnotifications does not convert CRLF to html br tag.

1) this requires a moodle plugin that will send out notifications (with multiple lines, '\n'). In my case here i've here the plugins DB where i'm attempting to do this. 2) but really all we need to do to test this is : a) test that messaging of notifications still work fine. One way is via mod forum post notifications (/mod/forum/lib.php:714: $eventdata->notification = 1; ). so you can play around with that, perhaps add multiple lines to that notification and see that they render fine in the messaging notifications page (message/index.php?viewing=recentnotifications). b) test that no malicious scripts can get through to any user via any of the messaging processors ( jabber, email, and we've tested the webui in (a) so we can trust core there )
