Image Borders in New Post Notification Emails

[masperber]

Impacted plugin

Jetpack

Quick summary

When a new post is published, Jetpack can send a new post notification email to the readers. Images that have a left or right alignment have a border which is added around the image. Images with no alignment do now have a border added around them.

I received customer feedback that they would prefer not to have this border added around the image.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new post.
2. Add images to the post, along with some text between each image.
3. Change the image settings to give left, right, center, and none as alignment settings for each image.
4. Publish the post.
5. Observe the border added around the images in the new post notification emails.

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Customer gave feedback that they don't want the image to have a border around it when they choose the left or right alignment, or they want to have the option to disable this border from appearing in the new post notification email.

What actually happened

A border is added around images with a left or right alignment.

@cuemarie Thank you for the correction. This is consistent with my findings. I have edited the initial message.

Thanks for reporting this!

The bug is that the image doesn't have a border when aligning center. I can look into that. However, turning off the border through an option is probably out of scope.
