Discourse: Reply by mail

[Jim]

Hello,

I have difficulties to reply by mail.

Discourse break ( not always ) the text formatting.
What is the best format? HTML or Text only.

I already know the 10 characters minimum restriction, but is there others rules?
What is the policy ?

I have made a test sending two replies, but only one ( the first ) apprear, the other one always goes in limbo…

Edit: I had already read this

Discourse cheat sheet

%{new_user_tips} This post is a ‘how-to’ or a ‘cheat sheet’ which explains how to go negotiate Discourse and execute basic functions. My No. 1 Tip for new Discourse users Discourse is not like other forum, almost it’s not a forum but something else. It’s something that looks like a social network, a forum, a chat and a mailing list. It could be confusing at glance but indeed it’s very easy N°1 Tip Just start to use it, create a new topic (don’t worry about where to post, just post) or reply …
