      • Log in (as a student, teacher or admin - does not matter) and modify your settings in the profile so that you want to receive e-mails in the plain text format. Make sure the messaging setting is set so the user receives subscribed forums posts via email.
      • Subscribe to a forum.
      • Submit a post into that forum. Make sure the post contains couple of HTML links.
      • Wait for the post coming to your inbox (you may want to use the "send emails immediately" feature).
      • TEST: Check that links are all listed at the bottom of the email, enumerated as [1], [2], [3] etc. and that they refer to a correct [1], [2], [3] etc. in the post text.

      Description

      I spotted this in the posts from "Integration, exposed" forum at moodle.org. In my preferences, I have selected "Plain text" as the format for the post from forums I am subscribed to. In this set-up, HTML links in the post body are converted into a numerical reference such as [1] or [2] and then there is a list of all links at the bottom of the text. The problem is that the in-text enumeration starts with [2] and not [1]. Due to this buggy offset, the links in the list of links do not match the referenced places.
