Continuing the discussion from [Discourse Activity Summary Emails Guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-activity-summary-emails-guide/36627):
Our Community Activity Summary could be improved by including globally pinned topics.
**My request:** If a topic is pinned globally, that topic is included in the next Activity Summary sent to anyone who hasn’t visited the Community since the topic was created.
**Why?** Sometimes there is content we need users to be aware of, and this would give us a way to invite them back into the Community to comment on it. _ **By allowing only the content that’s currently very popular to be featured, we ensure that only people interested in those same things will care enough to return to Community** _. This creates a downward spiral where Community becomes less diverse and activity revolves around the interests of a select handful of active participants.
I’m not the first to make this suggestion, but I’ll be _ **that guy** _ and re-request it.

Pinned topics should be re-added to future Activity Summaries if they are unpinned, then pinned back.
Usecase: there’s a (global) pinned post “Status of bla”, which keeps getting updated as time goes on (eg. every month). if i unpin, edit, then pin it back, imo it should be again included in the summary mail.
