Is it possible to only include the url link of a NEWLY published post as opposed including the actual text of the post? I am trying to get moderators to simply "click the link" thereby forcing more participation vs simply only reading the new post in an email. Thank you.

Yes, I had done this years ago and only had the information less the actual text posted in either the post or PM.

It would take me a while to find out what files that need to be edited.

Last I checked (four years ago), Classic never mailed a post body, even for moderator notifications. Boy, that made people angry. Check the Email Wordlets, they'll have the appropriate magic.

Didn't you write those apps Charles?

Yes, but feature calls were generally out of my hands.
