According to jmexclusives management consultants, Email Publishing is one of the best marketing and lead conversion strategy. Particularly, that every longlasting, outstanding and competitive online business can successfully implement and utilize in their campaign plans.
But, What Does Your Email Writing Style Say About You? For instance, every day, humans make snap judgments. In one Princeton…
Tumblr discontinued “post by email” publishing. Blogs used to have a private email address, previously found in blog settings. Any emails sent to that private address would appear as posts on your blog. Now that “post by email” address no longer appears in blog settings.
Oh well, obviously I again forgot about the nasty link issue when posting from email. See the last post "140802 Mou publishing" for example.
Okay, I guess I'll only use email publishing when there are no links in the post. However, Mou can still be my Markdown editor, before I copy and paste into Tumblr's nasty post box.
[Here]( is my first post from Mou. I'll leave it as it to demonstrate the amusing issues that arised from email publishing.
Obviously I've forgotten about how Tumblr handle tags when posting from email. I simply can't use the pound sign in the body since they gets interpreted as tags, always. Anyway, I seldom need pound signs in post bodies (except when testing with a K&R hello.c), and I can escape them with HTML entity codes if I really want to.
I'll try to post from Mou more, since it is a decent text editor (not as powerful as Emacs, I know, but instant preview is a plus, and Emacs keybindings are partially supported). Editing from that small Tumblr post box is simply horrible. Editing from Apple Mail is similar, albeit a tiny bit better. I'm not yet hard core enough to email from Emacs, or some command line mail program. (Some time in the future I might as well do this — I'm already composing and sending all my personal reminder emails with custom shell scripts and composing within Emacs. And I automatically get Markdown with my script, which is not possible with Apple Mail.)
I just tried to publish from email, with some basic markdown formatting. As expected, it got totally screwed up.
Preformatted block isn't rendered as pre. Pound sign # in the preformatted block got interpreted as beginning of a new tag...
Links are impossible. If you include an URL, it will be parsed as the custom URL for the post (or content source, did not investigate). What's worse, the URL parsed out from
[Google](https://www.google.com/).
is
https://www.google.com/).
which is totally insane (hint: what are the stuff after the last slash?).
Recall that HTML, HyperText Markup Language, is all (mostly) about hyperlinks. So Markdown is largely crippled without links.
Multiword tags seems impossible. Only a word immediately after a pound sign is interpreted as a tag.
I've deleted the e-published post since it looks so freaking bad. If you don't believe me, try this source:
