# [post_content_filtered] is empty

 * I am trying to figure out how to get the content to show up in the email with
   paragraph breaks. currently when I use [post_content] all of the content from
   the post runs together in one giant paragraph. If I surround [post_content] like
   this:
 * `<pre>[post_content]</pre>`
 * then I get paragraphs, but some email clients don’t wrap the paragraphs at the
   edge of the window AND it’s in the pre-formated mono-spaced font. Both of which
   are bad things.
 * Also, the images that are in the post are showing up broken in the email.
 * I was hoping that [post_content_filtered] would either add paragraph tags to 
   the content or at least strip out the images, but it appears to do neither and
   is in fact empty.
 * Does anyone have any ideas for any workarounds?
 * thanks in advance.

 * the sample above should read `<pre>[post_content]</pre>`

 * Hi pumasalad,
    Thanks for your message.
 * You’ve come across something i’m hoping to fix in a plugin-wide bug fix release
   in the very near future.
    As the plugin has gone through a lot development recently,
   being completely re-written for version 1 and had lots of new features added 
   in subsequent releases, i’m going to spend a bit of time testing everything and
   seeing what I can find that needs fixing. This is one of those things.
 * I’ll keep this ticket open until a bug fix release is out.
    If you find anything
   else in the meantime, please feel free to add to this thread.
 * Jack

 * This is now fixed in the latest release, due out in the next week.
    The fix stops
   HTML formatting from being removed when using the `[post_content]` shortcode.
   Marking as resolved.
