      Description

      To reproduce:

      1. Ensure that the activity names auto-linking filter is enabled
      2. Post in a forum and mention the name of another activity in the course
      3. Check the forum notification email

      Expected result:
      The forum notification email will contain a link to the activity (as other text filters such as Display emoticons as images work in forum notification emails).

      Actual result:
      The forum notification email does not contain a link to the activity. The link is only displayed when viewing the forum post in Moodle.
