Extra line-breaks when posting by e-mail

    Posts sent by e-mail are showing up with extra line breaks inserted, presumably wherever the e-mail client wrapped a line. I’ve seen this problem reported by others (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/115892) but haven’t been able to find any solution. Not sure whether this has been addressed in 2.2.

    I’m sure a lot of people are using the post by e-mail feature, presumably without this problem … what’s going on?

    I’m having this problem in WordPress 2.5, too.

    Here’s how I fixed the line breaks:

    I used the Text Control plugin:
    http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/TextControl
    Install the plugin package into WordPress.

    You will now find text control config in your WordPress SETTINGS

    Within text control config, change the default post setting to MARKDOWN

    If you have PHP v. 5x, you will need to replace the markdown.php file with an updated version. Otherwise, you will get errors on every post about Warning: preg_replace_callback()

    Here is the updated version of markdown.php:
