Description

The title image and header of the email are not breaking correctly in the generated HTML code for the TwiR email issue.

The break should be placed after the "This Week in Rust" title image. Instead, the line is currently breaking after the "This" in the text header.

The email code is being generated by the optimize-email Makefile job, which uses the website code (via the make build && make generate-website && make host-content command) to create an email using juice.

<td style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">
  <img class="wrapper-image " src="https://this-week-in-rust.org/images/logo32.png" alt="This Week in Rust" style="width: 30px; vertical-align: bottom; max-width: 100%;" width="30">
  <span class="wrapper-header-01" style="line-height: 27px; font-size: 23px; font-weight: bold; color: #444444;">This Week in Rust</span>
</td>

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the email generation code in the repository, particularly the Makefile’s `optimize email` target and the associated HTML template. Look for the inline styles that control the img and span elements. Consider adding a clear break (e.g., a <br> or using CSS display block) after the image to ensure proper line breaking. Test with different email widths to verify the fix.
