Can we have better formatted emails for the Business Central extension update / upgrade notification emails? Currently Microsoft sends emails with an unformatted JSON body containing all of the extension issues found trying to upgrade. Our customers receive these emails and disregard them because they can't read them. It would be nice if the emails first processed the JSON structure through a formatter so they are readable. It would also help our support staff so they don't have to always have to format each email manually. For example, our customer received this:

If would be nice if it was formatted like this:
