Hi @craigtommola,
We’ve checked and emails sent by Jetpack to subscribers do not show the correct author for guest posts. We’ve taken a look and it seems to be wp.com who is actually sending those emails. We’d need to know how they are retrieving information about posts in order to know whether there is a way to overwrite the author name in a consistent way. We’ll try to find that out. Thanks for bringing that to our attention!
Given author names are correctly displayed on other places, like bylines, meta tags, feed urls and so.

Hi again @craigtommola,
We’ve being looking into it and Jetpack doesn’t take into account WP core filters, which our plugin use to overwrite author data. Being so, I’m afraid there is little we can do about that. Sorry 🙁
Anyway, if there are other places where you would like author name/byline to be consistent with given author config, just let us know and we will try to implement compatibility if not already done.
Thanks again!
