   Hi,

   I've tried the sharing by email option and I would like to know if it's possible to change the content of the email sent.

   IMHO, this email looks too much like those spammy email you receive saying. "Amazing site: spam link"

   How could I change the following:
   "XXX thinks you may be interested in the following post: title + link"

   and add the excerpt or meta description to give more details about the post. That's an email not a tweet ;)

   I found this so far:
   

   function sharing_email_send_post( $data ) {
   	$content  = sprintf( __( '%1$s (%2$s) thinks you may be interested in the following article:'."\n\n", 'jetpack' ), $data['name'], $data['source'] );
   	$content .= $data['post']->post_title."\n";
   	$content .= get_permalink( $data['post']->ID )."\n";
   
   	wp_mail( $data['target'], '['.__( 'Shared Post', 'jetpack' ).'] '.$data['post']->post_title, $content );
   }

   How do I add the excerpt for example?

   Thanks for your help.

   I like the idea! We'll consider making some improvements to that email in a future Jetpack update.

   Yea, I second that.
   We should be able to customize that message (for other languages maybe?) and the mail subject title.

   Hi Jeremy,

   completely agree - and looking forward to the next update!

   I also would like to either

   a) change the from (currently wordPress@domain.com) email address to something I set, or

   b) have the person sending the link provide their own email address.

   All of the people I've shared links from my own site say the received email ends up in Junk Mail.

   a) change the from (currently wordPress@domain.com) email address to something I set

   The sender address is actually the default sender address set by WordPress. You can customize it with a small function, like so:

   function jeherve_from_email( $email ) {
   	return 'youraddress@domain.com';
   }
   add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'jeherve_from_email' );

   I'm using this one to change the mail name as well:

   function my_mail_from( $email )
   {
       return 'something@domain.com';
   }
   add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'my_mail_from' );
   
   function my_mail_from_name( $name )
   {
       return 'Le website name';
   }
   add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'my_mail_from_name' );
