Email formatting on Push.

[jdhitsolutions]

I wrote an email in Markdown. It was properly formatted with paragraphs and headings I used VS Code to write, format and preview. After I pushed, I opened the email in the web editor. It looked like everything was formatted as one long string of text. My paragraphs were all mashed together. I regret not taking a screenshot.

My expectation is that the email in the web editor would maintain the original formatting.

I am using v1.0.1 in a WSL Ubuntu instance on Windows 11. If it makes a difference, I double-checked and the file is encoded as UTF-8.

@jdhitsolutions Mind sharing the subject? Thankfully, this is all API-logged so we should be able to track down the original. (And this is in the genre that we'd consider bug rather than feature request: pushing and then pulling the body of an email should be a no-op.)

I'm working on a new email. I'll push it and grab screenshots.

I think I found a likely culprit. The only way I could use the CLI was to install it in my WSL Ubuntu instance. However, I write my file in VSCode on Windows and then copy it to the buttondown/emails folder. I think the problem is that the file is now using CRLF, and you are expecting LF.

I used sed to adjust the file, and then it uploaded and was scheduled. But this explains why I thought it looked wrong in the web editor.

Ahhhh yes. If you want to send a copy of the original (CRLF) file to justin@buttondown.email, that'll help us with building out the regression test :)
