GitLab Service Desk: Wrong converting of bold and italic from the email body

This is just a small issue, but it may be interesting in a way ...

When sending a mail to the service desk mail address of a project, this mail is converted into a new issue, using mail subject and body as issue title and description.

Problem: If there is a text part formatted as bold in the email, this comes as italic in the issue's description. Also, a message part formatted italic comes in as formatted with "/" before and after the text.

Example:

EMail

email


Issue

issue
