Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This is an addon for the Postie plugin (email-to-post). It does nothing on its own – Postie must be installed and active.

By default, Postie saves emailed content as a flat HTML/text blob, so a post created from an email opens in the block editor as one big Classic/HTML block rather than proper paragraph/heading/image blocks – and a big blob is difficult to edit afterward.

</md>.

  • Rich HTML emails (Outlook/Gmail-style formatted mail) are normalized into blocks.
  • Markdown syntax ( # / ## headings, blank-line paragraphs, **bold**, [links](url), * / - lists, > quotes) wrapped in an explicit <md>...</md> block is parsed into native blocks. See the FAQ below.
  • Emailed photo attachments become core/image blocks referencing the real WordPress attachment Postie already created, not bare <img> tags.
  • Bullet and numbered lists become real core/list blocks (with each item as its own core/list-item, including nested sub-lists), not plain text.
  • Blockquotes ( > ) become real core/quote blocks, with their contents as native inner blocks.
  • Anything not yet natively mapped (code, tables – deferred past v1) falls back to a core/html block, so content is never silently dropped.
