Description

#### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The setting (see below) for turning off tags posts from displaying is not working when a copy of the new post is emailed for followers.
The current settings do not make clear this is only turning off tags from the web post, and not impact the email version of the post.
Warning message or information help is needed to warn users all tags at all times will be shown on emails of new posts.

display tags

#### Describe the solution you'd like
Customer requests that when tags do not appear in the web post, they do not appear in the email version.

Perhaps we can add a tooltip that explains that the above controls are only for posts on the site and not email updates?

#### Describe alternatives you've considered
User not on Business plan so couldn't use MailChimp or similar plugin. <- This would be good workaround for users with plugins though.

#### Additional context
Customer upset that known code to hide tags in post don't work for email.
.post-meta-bottom .post-tags {
display: none;
}

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by locating the subscription setting that controls post tags and the email rendering path, then compare their behavior and the existing setting text; done means the requested email behavior or a clear warning about its scope is implemented and verified.
