First, I ran across a story on royalroad that's been having errors for ~1 month. I've just been manually downloading chapters and it works fine, but something's causing an issue so I figure I'd point it out while I was posting.

The Legend of the Fake Hero https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/25870 gives me:
"not well-formed (invalid token): line 10, column 0"
(sometimes a different line, usually 9 or 10) when I try downloading it. I've tried it as a new story, overwriting, adding into my existing story, skipping Chapter 33 (which I believe it the problem) by manually making a Chapter 33 in the epub and nothing worked, so usually I just download however many chapter I need manually be adding them as specific chapters and it works.

I know it started happening after Chapter 32, as that's when my original download starting having errors. I dont know how many chapters were there before I tried to update it AFTER chapter 32. Chapter 33 is the 'Thanks and Future Posts' Chapter. If I manually enter chapters 34 to whatever end chapter I want, it downloads just fine, so I suspect it has something to do with #33, maybe even the little arrow next to it?

Honestly, it's more annoying than anything, but I figure I'd point it out and it might be a simple fix.

Next, concerning the email tag feature you added.

I know it's been a week or two since you added the option, I haven't been around much to test it. Finally got around to it and it works great. I don't know what prompted it, but thanks, it's a feature I didn't even know I would want/use, but it's quite useful for organizational purposes.

I would like to point out one small (possible) issue concerning it. This is more for reference than anything, as I don't think 'fixing' it would be simple, and now that I know about it I will make sure to work around it. Because of how I use downloads it may have caused some real issues me if I didn't specifically check for it, based on the way I'm using it.

So, if you don't have the option 'download from email immediately' checked, and the story URL's pop in the download window this can happen... If you decide to add an additional story to that specific window, it adds the tag to it (the new story) as well. I'm sure you probably know already even if peripherally, others may not and it COULD cause annoyances/issues depending on how people use the option, particularly if someone doesn't notice it for a while.

You may want to add some flavor text about it or add a tooltip to point it out, so people are aware. If a person knows about it, and doesn't add other URLs to the list it's not a problem, but someone might add a bunch of URLs, not knowing it and get the tag added to the new stories.

Anyway, as always, thank you for the great addon.
