Dear Support

When I watched a category, An email will be sent when anybody create new topic.

But I see, Email show full content. How can I show only short content or excerpt?

Thank you.

Go to Admin/Settings/Email and scroll down to the bottom of the list. The last item is  
\_  
post excerpts in emails  
In notification emails, always send excerpts instead of full posts  
\_  
Check this box and you should not receive the full posts, just excerpts for each post.
