Continuing the discussion from [Suppress images for short emails](https://meta.discourse.org/t/suppress-images-for-short-emails/20235/7):

> Okay, as per the feedback, I have done following [updates](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/2805/files):
>
> - Only Avatar and Emoji images will be suppressed from email
> - Avatar image will be replaced with their relevant title text, e.g. ❤ will be replaced by `:heart:`
> - Short email length is configurable in site settings, default will be `2800`
**Reproduce:**
1. Configure Discourse so you get notifications for everything to ensure you’ll see the notification in question.
2. Post a very short topic or reply with both a “standard” emoji e.g. 😄 and a custom emoji.
**Expected behavior:**
- Both emoji are converted to text as described in the above-referenced change.
**Actual behavior:**
- Only the “standard” emoji is converted to text; the custom emoji still appears as an image.

Minor bug for this code @techapj, we need to check the Spam Assassin replacement regexes…
