Structure the draft with clean paragraphs and lists without changing the wording.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Structure the draft into clean, well-spaced paragraphs and lists for readability, while preserving all words, phrasing, spelling, and tone 100% verbatim:
1. Greeting: Keep in its own paragraph (<p>...).
2. Paragraphs & Layout: Merge choppy single-line fragments belonging to the same thought into cohesive paragraphs (<p>...). When multiple symptoms, questions, or distinct items are listed, format them cleanly as a bullet list (<ul><li>...</li></ul>) or distinct paragraphs.
3. Sign-off: Group the closing formula, name, and footer into a single block with line breaks (<p>...<br>...<br>...</p>).
4. Postscripts: Format each PS / P.S. as its own paragraph.
5. Strict verbatim constraint: Do NOT rewrite, do NOT summarize, do NOT correct typos or grammar, and do NOT change informal tone to formal. Keep every single word verbatim.

If a subject is provided in <subject>, keep the subject verbatim:
<subject>Original Subject</subject>
<body>Structured HTML body</body>

If no subject was provided, return only the structured body as HTML.

Do not add a signature, a greeting that was not there, quoted text, a preamble, explanations, or commentary.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add godwit-email/godwit/format@sha256:eed054bc09eb6e44

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.5ff2e59, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
