When inviting existing user to a topic/message, the email notifications are strange … the text version says:
```plaintext
invitingusername invited you to a topic 'Example Topic' on My Discourse Site:
Please visit this link to view the topic: https://discourse.example.com/t/example-topic/42/1
To unsubscribe from these emails, visit your [user preferences](https://discourse.example.com/my/preferences).
```
The HTML version is only the standard notification style with no additional context, i.e.:
>
**poster** Posting User
April 6
Hi, here’s my example message!
> To respond, visit [https://discourse.example.com/t/example-topic/42/1](https://discourse.example.com/t/example-topic/42/1) in your browser.
> To unsubscribe from these emails, visit your user preferences.

This invite to topic email for usernames should be nearly the same as the invite to topic email for email addresses.
That is, it should include the topic title and an excerpt of first post and place an emphasis in the title of the person who is asking as this is a person to person action…

What I gather is that the HTML version doesn’t include the instructions and the text version doesn’t include the excerpt?

The html version should be the cooked markdown version which is plaintext…
