  When I publish a post, the text that appears in the email notification is the text from the Excerpt field. However, in the WordPress Reader the text that appears is the opening of the post. How do I change this?
  Thanks, Chris

  When “Summary” is set under “For each article in feed show” here:

  https://anstapa.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

  The first 55 words of your post are shown in the Reader. This isn’t customizable.

  If you’re looking for more control over the content that appears in the intro to your posts, you may want to consider switching to “Full text” in the option mentioned above and then using the “More” tag to break up your content:

  All content in the post before the More tag will be shown in emails and in the Reader!
