Hello again, and just one more minor nit.

The stock email templates seem to be adding too much padding around the actual post content.

Here is an example just received:

```plaintext
----==_mimepart_58f8139956892_20ce3fbcdc0cd6bc7471c
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<actual content>

---

```
