Could you say a little more about the instructive text? Are you referring to a crib of the Markdown features, or any of the other locally-significant features, like making an email address escape the formatter? As far as your first one goes, I think it’s a great idea, and I can see how it would work from the Web.

I like your idea about a Markdown crib – that would be more useful to
people like me who already apprehend how the form is supposed to work. I
had actually thought of suggesting it, but was unsure of how much space and
effort would be involved.
My original link shows my suggested text, but I would advocate a Markdown
crib as useful as well.

It’s a dumb field, I didn’t put any smarts into it. Whatever you type is added to the bottom of the message like a PS. I can try to make it more smart, I suppose.

Great Walter
Haven’t tried it yet but do you have to use http:etc. or will www. give a clickable link.
Might be worth implementing smarts to turn www.mysite.com into a proper hyperlink - but then again what would that do to one that was a hyperlink already?
Even if it’s not a link, I can at least copy/paste “www.somewebsite.com” as
text to get there. Better still than nothing.

… and if finally the “subject” field could be a required-one to avoid “no subject” as list title. People would be probably more focused on the importance of sharing a bit more infos.
Some of us are sometimes that excited to forget about that, open another one with “…ooops forgot the title” and than a third one with the real title.
BTW:
Sharing clickable links is sometimes something that people don’t want but better a copy and paste (or even a cryptic) than nothing.
