How can I stop my entire post going to email subscribers?

My husband commented to me today that he doesn’t have to go to my blog to read it as it comes to him in its entirety in the email notification. My daughter says the same. How can I let the email subscribers only have a snippet of the blog post and they then have to go to the blog proper to read it properly?

I have my settings Dashboard > Settings > Reading > Summary but this isn’t the case with email followers. I’ve recently switched to WordPress from Blogger where this was available quite easily.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi –

It looks like your Feed Settings are configured appropriately to only display an excerpt: https://wordpress.com/settings/writing/viewfromourhill.wordpress.com

I just subscribed via email so I can see what’s going on when the next post is published. Go ahead and publish your next post to see if the settings apply.

Hi Liz,
Posted this morning and it worked as it should this time. Hubby only had a snippet and had to go to the main blog. I’ve not changed it from summary at all but perhaps I needed to OK it somewhere?
Thank you for your help and quite reply.
Amanda
