-You can use the recently received emails to retrieve things like subscription confirmation emails. On the recent emails page, find the email, click the menu button and select `View Text`. This will open the text body of the email.
+When you sign up for some services to send emails to Omnivore (most notably, setting up forwarding from Gmail), you will receive a confirmation mail that will be sent to your omnivore account, asking you to copy and paste a url to confirm. In some cases, copying and pasting this url will result in a "Not Found" page, because Omnivore is rendering the link as markdown and thus rewriting it. To solve this, go to [your recent emails page](https://omnivore.app/settings/emails/recent), find the confirmation mail in the list, click on the three dots next to it, and select `View Text`. This will bring up a plain text version of the mail, from which the correct url can be copied.
