 * I’m sure this has been asked before; however I wasn’t able find anything specific
   to Postie.
 * Is there a way to set a tag to allow only a few sentences of info is displayed
   and then add a “read more” tag?
 * I’m thinking something along the lines of a setting that says after 300 characters,
   add a comment tag of <!–more–>.
 * Anything after that isn’t displayed on the first page of the post.

 * Are you asking if there is an automatic way to do this or are you asking if there
   is something you can add to your email?

 * Automatic way is my request. Example, if you are using long emails and sending
   them to an email to post, that automatically the post would include the <!–more–
   > after a certain amount of characters or someway to shorten the post into 2 
   pages.

 * What you are looking for is an excerpt plugin. See [http://www.wpvirtuoso.com/4-best-free-wordpress-excerpt-plugins/](http://www.wpvirtuoso.com/4-best-free-wordpress-excerpt-plugins/)
   for examples.
