 * The following is the existing template for New Post published email template.
 * Hello {{NAME}},
 * We have published a new blog article on our website : <b>{{POSTTITLE}}</b>
    {{
   POSTIMAGE}}
 * You can view it from this link : {{POSTLINK}}
 * How can I edit this template to add some few lines from the post too with a link
   Read More… As of now it’s just showing the title or subject. Help is appreciated.
   Thank you in advance

 * Hiya,
    You can structure your template html to add and use the variable {{POSTDESCRIPTION}}
   before or after the {{POSTIMAGE}} this will give an excerpt from the begining
   of the post just as you want but the only thing I have found is that you can’t
   control the character count except length.
 * Note: the {{POSTIMAGE}} picks up on your featured image in your post and has 
   the post link embedded in it (i.e. onclick)
 * Then just add your “Read more:” text just before your {{POSTLINK}} too, to give
   the “more” or “read more” or effect you want aswell as..

 * As stated before this is something icegram has to look at as there is no current
   control option in place to manage the except length. Maybe it is something icegram
   the plugin author is planning to add later. We will have to wait an see.. 😊

    You may remove
   the anchor tags and simply use the keywords below. {POSTLINK}} – use this to 
   display full post link (clickable) in the email content {{POSTLINK-WITHTITLE}}–
   use this to display clickable post link with the post title.
