Emails no longer display a post's contents.

Is this an intended feature, to no longer show the text of the email alert? I quite enjoyed it when I was able to skim through a New Thread to get an idea what it was about without actually clicking the link to the website. Is that still an option somewhere?

As far as I know, that's default XenForo2 behaviour for Emails. SB and SV both limit how much of a chapter/threadmark you can see... which makes it all the more frustrating that QQ isn't doing the same currently. Can't tell if an alert is for a chapter or for a reply since it defaulted to alerting for 40 words instead of our old default of 500 words. I think someone got lazy when they were switching over and assumed that the file storing the defaults would be used, instead of overwritten.

??? Prior to the XF2 update, the email alerts contained the full text of the post, with no limit on length that I ever saw. Which is the same behaviour SB/SV used to have, until a few months ago Xon introduced a feature specifically to only send the first few words because apparently some email providers considered the longer email spam or something.

Edit: Sorry, misread your post. You're talking about the minimum wordcount in the post in order to trigger an OP alert, not the number of words of preview included in the email.

I want to go back to the whole-text-in-email behaviour, myself. I liked having a backup of fic updates, in case QQ was down or something.
