Hello,
from time to time I want to write a little equation in mailspring, for exampel I could write 2*3 = 3*2 the problem is that when Mailspring sees two “*” on the same line, it changes the font to italic and deletes them.
In some code (i.e. libreoffice) immediately pressing backpace ot ctrl-c undoes the automatic formatting, but there is no way to do it in Mailspring. Also, I could not find any way to disable this functionality.
Is there any workaround?
p.s. this automatic substitution happens even inside blockquotes and code blocks
Over a year later and not even a response. I’m more than a little amazed that the devs decided to do this without any ability to disable it. Even escaping the asterisks doesn’t work, so it’s not even proper markdown.
I’m going to have to go back to Thunderbird, even though I hate it. This is absolutely a non-starter.
