You have made it extremely clear that my original review is correct and that it remains a necessary warning to users as to what behaviour they should expect from Automattic going forward.

This is not a per-site issue. It is precisely the sort of thing that future users should be warned about in reviews. * Animesh, you have already answered other users on this precise issue. You know already that this is what users have an issue with. Your response here therefore comes across as disingenuous. - This reply was modified 1 year, 12 months ago by [davidgerard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidgerard/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Subscription email links go to WordPress.com, not to my blog post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subscription-email-links-go-to-wordpress-not-to-my-blog-post/) * Thread Starter [davidgerard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidgerard/) * (@davidgerard) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subscription-email-links-go-to-wordpress-not-to-my-blog-post/#post-16249571) * This appears to have been fixed.

How annoying. But, as I noted, I might leave it to tempt people to click. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Sending full post in email despite "more" tag?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sending-full-post-in-email-despite-more-tag/) * Thread Starter [davidgerard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidgerard/) * (@davidgerard) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sending-full-post-in-email-despite-more-tag/#post-3606753) * Yeah, I appreciate I’m asking for the opposite of what most people would want– excerpts on the front page, full posts in the email. * One thing I’ve noticed with the excerpt method: I end up with a gratuitous spare“ Read more ›” on that front-page excerpt. Livable-with, but slightly annoying. I suppose it’s an additional cue to the reader. * Glad you like it 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Sending full post in email despite "more" tag?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sending-full-post-in-email-despite-more-tag/) * Thread Starter [davidgerard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidgerard/) * (@davidgerard) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sending-full-post-in-email-despite-more-tag/#post-3606726) * Sorry, that was an unduly snappy answer – you did in fact answer the question I asked fully and effectively. * I tried the excerpt method today and it worked as expected. I’ll continue and see how it goes. * I was hoping for something like a tick-box (“send the entire post in email”), but I appreciate that every new user option is a problem in itself. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Sending full post in email despite "more" tag?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sending-full-post-in-email-despite-more-tag/) * Thread Starter [davidgerard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidgerard/) * (@davidgerard) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sending-full-post-in-email-despite-more-tag/#post-3606610) * That workaround would work, but is extra faff that shouldn’t be necessary – Jetpack is supposed to make less work, not more. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Problems with Category Icons](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-category-icons/) * [davidgerard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidgerard/) * (@davidgerard) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-category-icons/#post-529165) * The Coffee2Code [category images plugin](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/27/plugin-category-images/) seems to work with WP 2.1.
