Issue Summary

We're observing some issues with email previews, in both Gmail and Fastmail.

Expected behavior: The title of the post appears as the email subject, followed (in clients that show a preview) by the custom_excerpt (when available).

Observed behavior:
Gmail:

Image
Up to 'bulks' is the post title. What's after it is a couple body paragraphs in.

Image
The end of that is not the excerpt or the custom_excerpt, but is instead a sentence in the MIDDLE of a paragraph in the post.

Fastmail:

Image
Fastmail is showing the custom excerpt (that's "Movement...165!"), but then it starts again with the newsletter title and the post title.
