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?

Why do you type with

random parts

split by carraige

return.

It makes me read it like Captain Kirk.

Haha yeah I've written a fediverse system which connects email and activitypub. Writing these from my regular email client (more info if interested: https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/apas.html) Looks like what I'm gonna do is delete all carriage returns out just before it's sent out to the fediverse. Thanks for spotting that!

Out of curiosity from which app/client/frontend did you notice this?

On lemmy for iPhone you’re just skipping spaces “randomly” (where your carriage returns are, I’m guessing). It looks like:

Or Memmy or one of the apps from the app store?

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.

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 ;)
