Yes, I’ve identified the relevant section of the .php file that deals with the email message text, but can I use wordpress template tags in these files? (I don’t know any php other than playing with themes). For example, something like:

$msg = "<?php the_excerpt(); ?>";

I suppost the only way to find out is to give it a go, but I’m a bit reluctant to just go blundering in…

I’m in the same situation as logista but, unfortunately, I can’t follow spark’s suggestion.

is it just the one line of code that I need:
echo get_post_meta($post->ID,’data’,TRUE);

and is it that I should add this to the functions.php file in the wp-includes directory? Does it matter where?
