I'm having some issues with plugboards and email output to my send to kindle address.

I have the following plugboard set up to update the title:
any format, any device : {series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|| - }{title}

When I use the "email to" option to send the book to my kindle, the series information will prepend to the title for some books, but not for others. It seems to be simply that some books work, and other don't. I've tried two books from the same series, one gets the series information added and the other doesn't.

So a couple of questions I have off the bat:
Are metadata plugboards used by the "email to" option?

Will Amazon sometimes monkey with the metadata, or maybe have issues with some information (special characters, etc) that can cause parts of the title to be lost?

I appreciate any help I can get on this.
