Questions
Can I add a link or an image?
Links, images, tables and raw HTML are removed from the page. Write the address as plain text instead.
How long can a message be?
4096 characters.
Does the email use the formatting too?
Emails to subscribers carry the status and the message. The status page shows the formatted version.
