Using Mailpoet

Great plugin! Easy to setup and nice to be able to use the standard Gutenberg editor. I didn’t find how to add a link to the web version of my newsletters.

Works perfectly. The syntax highlighter is sometimes incorrect, but it doesn’t affect functionality. Thanks to the developers.
