For the record, I still need help with this, if anyone’s around.

New phone: Samsung Galaxy S8+
New Android: v8.0.0
New K-9 Mail: v5.600
Same problem. Lock screen notifications either display everything – sender, 
subject, body, etc. – or (with “Hide subjects in notifications” enabled) 
only which account received the email and the email count. The granular 
control under Notifications → Lock Screen Notifications doesn’t work at all.

Would really appreciate any help here.
