Description

The email notification for tasks includes HTML character codes instead of proper characters in the description text. For example, the following snippet is sent in the email:

This is a friendly reminder of the task "Fix structured data Value in property "reviewCount" must be positive" ([project-name]) which is overdue since 9 hours and not yet done.

Here, the sequence " appears instead of a quotation mark ("), which reduces readability.

Expected behavior:
The email should render all special characters properly, displaying "reviewCount" with normal quotation marks rather than HTML character codes.

Please check the process that generates email content and ensure proper decoding or escaping of HTML entities before sending the email.
