There are 2 ways to send an excerpt of your post to your subscribers.
- In Settings > Reading, you can set your feed settings to “Summary”. Once you have saved your changes, Jetpack will only send an excerpt of your post to your subscribers.
- You can split the content of each one of your blog posts in 2 parts thanks to the More tag:
<!--more-->
Everything that is above the More tag will appear on your home page and in the subscription emails, followed by a link inviting users to click to continue reading; everything that is below that tag will only appear on the post’s page.
You can read more about it here:

Jeremy,
We are using some shortcodes on our post and the subscriber receives the shortcode copy which is not legible via email. We have Settings > Reading > feed settings set to “Summary”.
We have a custom excerpt written but the email doesn’t seem to be using that? Can you help?
@infrontweb Could you please start your own thread, as per the Forum Welcome?

it might also be useful if you could let me know your site URL so I can have a closer look. If you want it to remain private, you can also contact us via this contact form:

Thank you!
