With some frequency people want to add something to the Summary emails (e.g., [Need advertising added to the newsletter (Digest)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/need-advertising-added-to-the-newsletter-digest/102924), and I just did a project where someone wants some data from custom fields added to summary emails). There is currently no way to do that without overwriting the whole template. This is a huge bummer if and when the template changes.
To my naive way of thinking, it seems like the solution to this problem is that there be some stubs in `user_notifications.rb` like
```ruby
def digest_text_after_logo (user, opts)
""
end
```
with corresponding stuff in digest (e.g., `@after_logo = digest_text_after_logo`) and in the template (e.g., `@after_logo` after the logo before the following table).
I think the places to add stuff include
- in the header after the logo
- before “Popular topics”
- perhap before “New for you”
- before the footer/unsubscribe links.
All that to say
1. Do I understand correctly what would need to be done?
2. would this be a welcome PR?
3. Would someone who knows the answer to (1) like to submit the PR?

Seriously? How often does that template change? This seems like a solution in search of a problem.

My guess is that it’ll start changing 3x/week immediately after I count on it not changing. 😉

But your point is well taken & I’ll proceed as if it’s not likely to change.
I do still wonder if the problem did exist if my solution is on the right track.
