    Looks like you have your “Prefered Text Type” set to HTML. When Gmail sends something with a plain link it does some formatting behind the scenes so that what it actually sends is something like:

    <div dir="ltr">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjfxr24iuuw" target="_blank" style="font-size:13px">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjfxr24iuuw</a><br>
</div>

    Gmail also sends the plain link, but you have to tell Postie to look for it.

    I’ve also a problem with embedding youtube videos.

    I’ve tried to edit ‘postie/postie-functions.php’ without success.
    Unfortunately I’m not good at regular expressions.

    Youtube urls with /attribution_link?a= endings are not embedded. For example: https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=XXXXXXXXXXX&u=/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXX&feature=share

    Another issue is that multiple youtube urls on different lines are not embedded.

    Could you please help me to solve this issue?
