A Longer Reflection

Sample body text. This post is deliberately longer than the others so the thread page has something tall enough to scroll, which is how you can check that the header gradient and the top inset behave.

A second paragraph continues the thought. Real posts tend to run several paragraphs, and the bubble simply grows to fit. There is no length limit, and nothing is truncated on the post page – only the preview in the conversation list is cut, at 140 characters.

A third paragraph, to push it further still. If a post gets long enough that it would arrive as several separate messages, you can split it into separate bubbles – see the sample post from September 24th.

One thing worth watching at this length: the conversation list shows the summary from the front matter when there is one, and falls back to the opening words of the body when there is not. A long post without a summary gets a preview that stops mid-sentence, which is usually not what you want.

A closing paragraph that wraps things up.
