      Issue Summary

      When a Confluence Cloud page containing tables with rich content (date macros, action items, mentions, bullet lists) is updated, the email notification sent to watchers renders the content poorly. The table is displayed with an extremely narrow width causing content to wrap excessively, and various macros/elements are rendered with incorrect sizing and formatting.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a Confluence Cloud page
      2. Add a table with multiple columns (5+)
      3. Inside the table cells, add:
        Date macro (e.g., "21 May 2026")
        Action item (checkbox with assignee)
        mention macro, bullet list having paragraph
      4. Save the page
      5. Ensure another user is watching the page
      6. Edit and update the page (make changes to the table content)
      7. Check the notification email received by the watcher

      Expected Results

      The email notification should render the table content in a readable format with:

      • Adequate column width
      • Properly sized macros (date, action items, mentions)
      • Consistent font sizing
      • Readable layout without overlapping elements

      Actual Results

      The email renders with:

      • Extremely narrow table width causing excessive text wrapping
      • Date macro text overlapping
      • Oversized checkbox 
      • Inconsistent font sizes across cells
      • Overall distorted and unreadable layout

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
