Note: Requires the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-by-email/" rel="ugc">Post By Email</a> plugin.
The plugin filters the post content after a post has been created via the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-by-email/" rel="ugc">Post By Email</a> plugin. 
If the post content contains only a URL it automatically assigns the ‘link’ <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Formats" rel="nofollow ugc">post format</a> to the post and wraps the URL in a link tag.

I couldn’t find a simple way to just add links with a short description to my blog without 
jumping through a lot of hoops. So I made this simple plugin that makes adding posts to your 
to site as a link blog post with just a few steps. That way you could have posts that like 
the popular site Daring Fireball
There’s a simple wizard style interface that walks you through the process.
Any image that is used from the source link will be added to the post and set as the thumbnail. 
The image isn’t added inline to the post because I want you to have more control of how it 
was displayed. However the image will be imported in to the Media gallery for you to insert.
<h3>Arbitrary section</h3>
Something should maybe go here?
