Youtube "embeds" does not look right in emails

  This is possibly a bug report, more than a question. But if it is my bug I would like to know what I am doing wrong ;-)

  I just recently published an entry on my blog with a youtube video embedded using the [youtube=…] syntax. It works fine on the blog but in the email that is sent out, it just looks like this:

  watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc

  I would of course prefer it to be able to show the video but I am unaware if that is possible in most email clients. Failing that, I would like an alternative that shows the link to Youtube.

  Best regards
  Henning

  Can you please try the quick-embed method next time (just paste the URL, no shortcode necessary) and let us know if there’s any difference?
