Allow Posts Blocks Inside Structured Newsletter Sections and Column-Based Layouts

As a long-time MailPoet user, I would like to request the ability to place Posts blocks inside specific newsletter sections and column-based layouts.
In previous versions of MailPoet, creating structured newsletters with clearly defined sections was much more flexible. Today, Posts blocks can only be inserted as full-width blocks because nested columns are not supported. This creates significant workflow limitations for publishers who organize their newsletters into multiple editorial sections.
For example, my newsletter contains sections such as:
Opening Exhibitions
Accompanying Exhibition Events
Closing Exhibitions
When I want to place a post inside one of these sections, I cannot simply insert the Posts block where it belongs. Instead, I must first insert the Posts block elsewhere and then manually move or recreate the teaser image, title, and text content using separate blocks. This process is repetitive, time-consuming, and prone to errors.
The current workaround may be acceptable for occasional newsletters, but for weekly publications with multiple posts and structured editorial content, it significantly reduces efficiency.
I believe many publishers, magazines, bloggers, cultural institutions, and content-driven organizations would benefit from:
Allowing Posts blocks inside column-based layouts
Supporting nested layouts where technically possible
Providing more flexible placement options for Posts blocks within newsletter sections
If you have experienced similar limitations, please vote for this feature request so the MailPoet team can prioritize a more flexible newsletter editor in future releases.
Thank you for your support.
