 * Is this formatting not allowed? See here: [http://d.pr/i/1hMyp](http://d.pr/i/1hMyp)

 * Thanks in advance for any help. I have 9 notifications setup and only the “New
   Comment” notification has an issue. Otherwise your plugin is working great!

 * Hi icommstudios,
    Thanks for your message.
 * Everything looks fine to me – what problem are you having?
    You may need a forward
   slash between your site name and `[permalink]` FYI.
 * Thanks,
    Jack

 * Hi, I think I was just confused by the test email shortcodes not actually outputting
   anything. All is well and great plugin!
