p.s. It would be helpful that Wp function get_the_excerpt() could retrieve first n(55) words of content, if there is no entry in the excerpt field, like the_excerpt() function does so.

Thank you. It has helped.

There is only a small issue when using get_my_excerpt, namely retrieved string contains html codes for special characters (f.e. &#8220 for “).

It seems that the problem still exists.

I have the latest version installed (3.0.2), as well WP 3.1.2., but users still get text “[ex_fieldn]” in Autoresponder mail when no data is entered for that extra field in the form.
