I am privacy conscious so I would like to use my proton.me account, but I wanted some advice. Should I use my gmail account for career related purposes or should a proton.me address be fine?

      Ah good spot. Sync for Lemmy renders the new lines.

      Still don’t know why they are there in the first place :)

        perhaps habit? i know many people write markdown documents that way, it can help with editors which dont wrap text, and may be better for using grep and related line-based tools.

          Ah so if you really want to know, it’s because one of the mail clients I use quoted-printable encodes the body when sending a message with lines >80-ish characters.

          I haven’t implemented a decoder on the other end. My current workaround is to pipe everything through fmt before it goes out.

          i know many people write markdown documents that way,

          Yes I also actually do this too; I’m a fan of semantic line feeds.

          In case you couldn’t tell, the whole system is a WIP ;)
