Summary
On different events, when email notification is being sent from gitlab, emails associated with some specific events are well designed (with proper CSS and colour) but events associated with other events are just in plain text.
The emails associated with the events listed below are formatted with proper colours
- Merge request approval
- Pipeline failure
- Pipeline success
- Pipeline fix
- Merge when pipeline success
- Sign in from new location (check "Example Screenshot" below for screenshot)
The emails associated with the events listed below are in plain test
- Create MR
- Commit in MR,
- Merge of MR
- Change reviewer to MR
- Re-assign MR
- New epic creation
- New release
- New Issue, close issue, reopen issue, reassign issue
- Moved project (CSS formatting is there without coloured header and footer) (check "Example Screenshot" below for screenshot)
Steps I followed to verify
From gitlab admin settings first I ensure that Enable multipart emails option is checked, which is responsible for sending the emails with css, later enable email notification for all the events by configuring notification level, and trigger events manually to check the email formatting associated.

Formatted email
Plain text email
Improvements
All the email notification sent from gitlab will be consistent in terms of design.
Risks
It's improvement from email appearance point of view, there should not be any risks.
