Lots of Ghost themes use the excerpt field as a subtitle on posts, including our default Source theme. After listening to feedback from publishers, we’ve added an optional setting in the newsletter template to include the post excerpt. Now it's simple for your newsletter to match your site.
Here's how to enable it:
Navigate to Settings → Newsletters → Design and toggle on the "Post excerpt" field.
