Hi Guys, I was wondering if there is a way to remove the content of replies inside emails, so rather than the whole reply to a post appear in an email, it would simply be the topic and a link back to the post - X user has posted a reply to the topic X - click here to check it out . That way users w…

Ok thanks. In case anyone else was wondering, found the setting under settings > email > private email (last option in the list). D

Hi Jeff. We’re currently using the ‘private email’ setting on our instance because we don’t want the content of messages going out in notification emails. That’s perfect for the messages, however we would like to show the Topic title in the subject line of email, but I can’t see a way to achieve tha…

Hmm what about just amending the localizations then? It is fiddly but you can make it work today. /admin/customize/site_texts/user_notifications.user_quoted.text_body_template is an example of the user_quoted template. I don’t think we are going to rush to add this to core cause “reply by email” r…

Sam, in our case, it’s a closed (not public) community of medical professionals, sometimes discussing sensitive cases etc, so we don’t want any content/details in the body of notification emails, but the topic titles rarely have any sensitive content. I have been asked if I can show the topic titles…
