Subject of daily digest emails is not in body of email

The recent "daily digest" emails that have been going out from the forums have a bug. The subject of the emails is the title of a forum thread, but the actual thread isn't actually linked within the body of the email.

Huh, that is interesting...the SL's are pulled directly from the pre-distro/preview email I receive the morning of the newsletter send. Only thing I can figure is if the content is personalized to each recipient, in which case I need to rethink my strategy and use of the tool! I'll check with the Dev of this module and see if I can figure out more details. 

Appreciate you bringing this to my attention!

Alright @edingc - spoke with our Dev and what is happening is that the Newsletter has certain parameters set - min # of replies to a post in X days sorta thing - and they are changing from the time I set the new Subject Line to the time the email is actually sent. 

So, in your pic above, Sub70 was a topic in the pre-distro email I received the morning of the send...however, it looks like it was overwritten by another thread that was a better fit for the criteria and the Sub70 thread was dropped. I asked if there's a way to combat that, but unfortunately it will happen from time to time. I'll continue to fiddle with the Newsletter module and see if I can find a better solution so poor member experiences like you noted above do not happen anymore. 

Just know that I'm not trying to create click-bait titles to boost our stats!

Was alerted that this same issue cropped up again with the latest send on 9/15. Contacted Dev again last night to troubleshoot the causes and find a solution. I'll revert back to a more mundane and all encompassing SL in the meantime. Appreciate you guys bearing with us while we get these issues sorted. Progress is never easy, haha.
