I found I that putting this in the email css worked to hide the metadata in my limited testing:

```plaintext
table:first-of-type {
    display:none;
}

```

Suppressing the button styling on the ‘Visit Topic’ link is not a problem I’ve found a solution for. It’s frustrating to have zero control over the formatting of the footer.
