 * Here is a fix for a related bug, namely the annoying line breaks which come when
   posting with the BLOG BY EMAIL function (many people looking for this fix somehow
   wind up here while searching for an answer in the forum)…
 * Here’s how I fixed the BLOG BY EMAIL line breaks:
 * I used the Text Control plugin:
    [http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/TextControl](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:
