    I'm attempting to implement the Post by Email feature. All the short-codes found in the documentation appear to working as expected except for "tags". After multiple attempts, the backend discards the tag value sent in body of email and installs a "--" in it's place. Here's an example of the email I'm sending:

    [title Moonwalk]
    theme: Second Sunday after Advent
    Sunday Date: December 1, 2024
    Vol.: 33
    Num.: 22
    [tags 3322]
    [category parish-papers]
    [status draft]
    Add Parish Paper content here.

    [end]

    It would appear after a few more attempts, “tags” shortcode can not be a “number”. In my first post, I tried “[tags 3322]” which did not work. However, when I make the value alphanumeric “[tags pp3322]” that works as expected. Perhaps a note in the documentation regarding this limitation would be helpful OR update the functionality to accept numbers.

    This issue can be considered resolved and the topic moved to feature suggestion.
