* I’ve just bought the premium version, which so far is great. However i need some
help…
* I’m actually a web ‘designer ‘(not developer) so know basic HTML, but the HTML
emails when previewed in my inbox show with massive line breaks.
* When i view the raw message code (in my Mac) it shows there has been tonnes of
line and paragraph breaks added to the code…
* How come? Can i solve this?

* But the same issue applies to the free version that i used before…
* I just don’t understand how to get rid of all the extra line breaks when they
arent there when i add the code to the plugin! You’re only answer is to build
another plugin to handle the CSS.
* This is really poor!

* [@newuser2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newuser2/),
* The line breaks are in the template every time you create a new line. See this
snippet where I have indicated your line breaks:
* ```
LINE BREAK
LINE BREAK
LINE BREAK
LINE BREAK
LINE BREAK
```
* The need for a custom plugin is there because you want to use your own defined
CSS, you consider it to be poor but I consider it to be a valuable feature that
allows extension of the Subscribe2 code through an API in the same way WordPress
allows extension through their API so that plugins like Subscribe2 can be created.

* OK, i appreciate that, but this is an unexpected headache for your plugin and
i thought i’d have this really simple setup done in minutes – not days!
* Can you give me a zip file for a plugin that will allow me to embed my own CSS
styles?
* Thanks in advance.

* I didnt even add these line breaks, if i did i would remove them and the pain
would go away! However it’s your plugin thats adding them before sending the
emails out…

* You did add those line breaks – you pressed return, I’ve simply shown you where
they are.
* You code is here:

* I got a problem like [@newuser2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newuser2/).
In my opinion, if we don’t use ‘theme CSS stylesheet in HTML’. A simple HTML
in Email Template should be working fine.
Could you suggest me How to fix it
without use ‘theme CSS stylesheet in HTML’?

* Since you seem to be using the paid version and have already posted on the paid
forum I’ll follow up there.
* Please in future, try to avoid cross posting the same issue.
