landings: the record shows its whole message, and the heading shows no markup

Two faults from one cause. A message written with no blank line has no prose under the header at all — zit put the whole thing in the title card. So clipping the heading dropped 290 of 362 characters with nowhere left to read them, and the record rendered no description. The opener now falls back to the title, rendered like any other body, which is also the only way its Markdown ever reaches a reader.

The heading drops the marks instead: an h1 is plain text, so *emphasis* arrived as literal asterisks and read as a rendering bug. Asterisks and backticks only — _x_ in prose and my_file_name in a path are the same three characters, and mangling every identifier to italicise a rare one is the worse trade. check-in: db743a90a0 user: dmestas tags: trunk

landings: the heading is a headline, not the whole message

zit puts the entire -m message in the record's title card, so a message written without a subject line arrives as one 400-character 'line' that firstLine returns whole — an h1 that fills a phone screen before the record says anything about itself.

Clipped at the same 72 the timeline already uses for this exact string, so the two agree on what a landing is called. Nothing is lost: the opener's full text renders immediately below as the description. check-in: ff1cfd1aa9 user: dmestas tags: trunk
