Do I need to manually refresh the browser to see changes?

No, the built-in preview server automatically refreshes the view within two seconds whenever the HTML output is updated via the assembly script.

Where are the message drafts stored?

Drafts are saved as .fragment.md files in a structured local directory (data/writing/email_drafts/) for easy version control and retrieval.

Does it support WhatsApp formatting?

Yes, it converts Markdown into WhatsApp's specific syntax, such as using asterisks for bold and underscores for italics, and provides a 'Copy for WhatsApp' button.

Can I use custom HTML tags like colors and underlines?

Yes, standard Markdown is supported, but you can also embed raw HTML like span tags for custom colors or font tags for sizing, which pass through the assembler.

How does this skill handle different email clients?

It applies platform-specific transforms: using a tag-based approach for Gmail's web interface and specific inline CSS styles for Outlook's Word-based rendering engine.
