** [tickets:#5693] Last paragraph in Allura notification mails about forum posts is <h2> in HTML**

When sending notification mails about forum posts, Allura appends at the end text like

~~~~
---
[thread title](thread link)
~~~~

This means that the paragraph above will be accidentally processed by Markdown as a header (< h2 >).

For example, consider this discussion thread https://sourceforge.net/p/castle-engine/discussion/general/thread/e17a79e1/ . The last paragraph of 2nd post says "I also fixed the deprecated usage of CreateCamera that you can see mentioned in FPC messages."

Now when Allura sends me a notification mail about this forum post, it looks like this in text version:

~~~~
I also fixed the deprecated usage of CreateCamera that you can see mentioned in FPC messages.

And like this in HTML version:

~~~~
<h2 id="...">I also fixed the deprecated usage of CreateCamera that you can see mentioned in FPC messages.</h2>
<p><a class="" href="https://sourceforge.net/p/castle-engine/discussion/general/thread/e17a79e1/?limit=25#c927">Error compiling SVN example with "make examples"</a></p>

The HTML version of the email was obviously prepared by processing text version with Markdown. And the "---" (appended automatically by Allura) caused the paragraph "I also fixed the deprecated usage" to be surrounded by < h2 >, since this is how you make headers using Markdown.

A trivial solution would probably be to just add a newline before the "---" that is appended by Allura.
