Sometimes, seemingly at random, Discourse will not email the first message in a thread. No, it's not in my spam filter, I've checked. In my experience, Discourse doesn't cope well with email replies that use hard line breaks, breaking each line into its own paragraph -- but only sometimes. Discourse seems to insert blank lines between paragraphs in messages sent by email, even in code blocks -- but only sometimes. Even when it does't insert blank lines, Discourse seems to insert extra carriage returns (^M) at the end of lines in messages it sends -- but only sometimes. Discourse seems to treat a row of hyphens (what should be a markdown hrule) as the end of the post, and delete the hyphens and everything after it -- but only sometimes. Once, I've had Discourse seemingly randomly delete one line in the middle of a code block for no apparent reason. The bottom line is that Discourse's email works, but with a seemingly never-ending parade of annoyances and frustrations. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/FKYFGBBQBA56X77K57CJOV6S5DWNQ2GS/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
