Screen capture of blog posting:

Very minor issue, but notice that in Title whitespace has been added between of and Project, but this whitespace does not appear in the title of the blog post. I assume this is an issue with FullBlogNotificationPlugin, but I suppose it could be an issue with FullBlogPlugin.

My hunch would be that the title actually contains the additional space, but that can't be seen in web version as HTML does not render as-is. Browsers will make any number of regular whitespace characters into one whitespace character (allowing lines to break and be indented and so on).

Plain-text notification can't hide this, and it really makes no sense for any code to reformat the entered title.

Please inspect the actual title of the blog post (for instance in edit mode).

You are completely correct. I thought I had double checked that last night, but apparently missed it. I also didn't realize that HTML would format the text by ignoring the extra whitespace ... so at least I learned something here.

Thank you for the explanation and sorry for taking up your time on an invalid issue ;)
