It looks like the html view for the digest preview is not working:

The text view appears to work fine:

Hmm why would this not work in Firefox? Odd cc @eviltrout but not remotely urgent.

It looks like using a `src` with a `data` attribute you’re limited to 32k, and our new digest email was much bigger. Using `srcDoc` seems to fix it:
