It’s not perfect, but good enough for the time being. We’ve got a few other priorities at the moment, but getting rid of that pesky additional metadata (through a plugin, as discussed above) is still on our roadmap.
Somewhere, way way way down on the list. I’m not gonna get to it anytime soon, so if someone else wants to work on it there’s no danger of duplicated work.
I found I that putting this in the email css worked to hide the metadata in my limited testing:
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.
