Multi-part email triggers an exception

I don’t know what’s causing this issue but since I upgraded to v2022…I’ve created a few projects - mostly from scratch, and many of them suffer from this same problem.If I enable “Add plain text version in HTML email” (in Advanced Settings) then sending any email triggers an exception with the following warning:C:\WebServer\www\dfx2022.tst\vendor\soundasleep\html2text\src\Html2Text.php(173): DOMDocument::loadHTML(): htmlParseEntityRef: expecting ‘;’ in Entity, line: 18…but I have no clue where it’s expecting the missing ';'An example string being passed to that segment of code (via the HtmlToText function in phpfn.php) is:

When the exception occurs, the debug panel shows:

I’ve tracked the issue down to line 57 of /vendor/soundasleep/html2text/src/Html2Text.php:$doc = static::getDocument($html, $options[‘ignore_errors’]);If I edit that line to…$doc = static::getDocument($html, true);…then the emails are generated and sent without an issue.Can anyone shed some light on this?

DOMDocument->loadHTML() expects HTML-encoded attributes, so you need to change “&” in your href attribute to “&”.

But that’s the issue, … it’s not MY href - it’s being generated by PHPM - that example I provided is the default activation email that gets sent as part of the the registration process.
