# Excerpt Text Missing in Email

 * I use the free version of Mailpoet extensively, but not seen this problem before.
   I have posts which have text in them and featured images. When I prepare a newsletter
   and insert the posts normally the title appears followed by an automated excerpt
   from the text, a read more link and the featured image. I did not need to do 
   anything special to make that happen. I have just edited a site and changed the
   template from Divi 4 to Divi 5 (By Elegant Themes). The excerpts are not automatically
   present, just the title, read more link and featured image.
 * I have a feeling that I have seen this before a long time ago, but not recently.
   Any clues as to what the problem is?
 * I checked the options for displaying the post in a newsletter. I cannot see anything
   wrong there, but I have never changed them in the past.
 * The site is very lightweight in terms of plugins.
