Hey all, just wanted to check in about something with digest emails.

I checked our Digest to see how we could improve it, and I was concerned to see that only the first line is showing up. In my settings, I have the **digest min excerpt length** set to 250, but it’s still cutting off.

It’s looking like this \>\>

Not very informative, right? Is it just because of the emojis

I’ve also noticed that sometimes only the first line of a topic is included in the digest, emoji or not.

Any ideas?

Hmm that setting isn’t used anywhere. Excerpts in emails always take the first paragraph only. I think it’s a good idea to bring back support for **digest min excerpt length**.

I made two fixes for this. First is that the **digest min excerpt length** is now used. And second is that we were counting the length of the emoji html (`<img src="/long/path/to/the/image">`) when calculating if the excerpt length was long enough. Same problem with links and other html. So now the summary email excerpts should be showing the correct amount of text.
