Formatting wrong from Gmail (I think)

I’m guessing that you have “Preferred Text Type” set to “plain”

Try changing “Preferred Text Type” to “html”

When I switch it to HTML, any carriage returns that are put into the email don’t transpose over to the post, it just does one big continuation. I think that was the reason I switched it to plain in the first place.

Do you know a work around for that? the lack of carriage returns in HTML from GMail to Postie?

Please send a sample email to [email protected] then leave a note here that you have done so. I will take a look.

Posted, I just sent the email I sent this morning that gave me the ‘no line break’ issue for myself.

Here is the text version of what is being sent

So, it is Wednesday, we are halfway through the week, the weekend is nearly
here. Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far and looking forward
to the weekend.

The wife and I will be going to a concert this weekend, so you can expect
to see pictures from that.

Hope you have an enjoyable rest of your day.

Looks like Gmail is wrapping the text at about 76 characters.

I did switch my test system to “html” and the message looks correct at least with the twentyfifteen theme. https://screencast.com/t/gWy3lUzv5D5X

Well, if you look at the email, I have a space between the paragraphs, but on your test it looks the same as my site, the space gets removed.

see my front page at https://pjg-developments.com/ you’ll see what I mean.

This is the raw html that Postie received:

<div dir="ltr">
<div class="gmail_quote">
<div dir="ltr">So, it is Wednesday, we are halfway through the week, the weekend is nearly here. Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far and looking forward to the weekend.<div>

If you look at the source of your page you will notice that all the <br> elements have been removed. If you look at the post in text mode you will see the <br> elements. Somehow during rendering WordPress is removing them. In fact you can see this happen if you switch back and forth between Visual and Text mode in the editor.

When I switch the post to ‘edit’ mode, the spaces between the pages are there, but on the live mode they are not. I’ll have to deal deeper into the WP php’s and/or addons I might have running.

Still puzzles me though, that is does the same to your example picture, maybe it’s not an addon, more the WP itself.

Dun, Dun, Dunnnnnnn, it WAS WordPress.

I just installed a plugin to disable the WordPress Auto formatting (as I really didn’t want to mess with PHP) and the last post we’ve been discussing about, now looks all correct and spaced the way it should be.

While it wasn’t an issue with your plugin, I really thank you for allowing a fresh perspective on it and getting to a point were I know what was causing it.

My pleasure.
