I see the email call to action card feature was added, which looks great and fulfills the goal above. However, I would definitely still appreciate the original “newsletter-only HTML card” feature request so I could add tables within an email card.
Likewise, I have seen some others asking for a desktop-only card which would be really valuable as well. Sadly I am out of votes
An alternative would be to allow emailing a post that would be hidden on the website while linking to another desktop-formatted page instead.
