I am a member of the Squarespace Circle Discourse site and get daily activity summary emails.

I just noticed that activity summary emails include deleted posts’ text: _(post withdrawn by author, will be automatically deleted in 24 hours unless flagged)_

I would imagine that should be excluded from being listed as a post in the summary? Or should it stay since as of when the activity summary was sent, that post was still there?

This has come up before. We should have some kind of fail safe that prevents pending deleted posts from going out @neil.

I added a fix so the chosen post can’t be one that was deleted by the author.
