Thank you for your feedback.
We'll add back TOC in the email in the future issues.

Thomas and all:
First, sorry for the ways we've messed up the working formula of FWN.
At least we were able to shake some readers up enough to write in about
it. :)
To address the concerns, it sounds like we want to format FWN this way:
Issue #
Table of Contents (h1, h2)
(Body of Content)
Below is a copy of the ToC from the latest issue. Is it too long?
An alternative would be for us to do what Thomas did in the past --
identify seven or eight topics as headlines and push those up for
attention. Then followed by a ToC? Or just the body of the content?
More work, but more use. Makes it more traditionally news-like.

12. Feedback
In the past, I only used TOC in my email announcement.
Since the transition, I start using the actual news content in the
email just like many other distro weekly newsletters (Debian, Ubuntu
etc). What is missing from last 3 issues is TOC since I just simply
copy and paste from Raw Text from Wiki.
Starting next issue, I'll make sure to add TOC on top as well as the
content in my email weekly newsletters in the future.
Regards,
