Add group name to the notification subject

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Could we maybe prefix the notification subject with the group name, so that:

  1. It's easier to identify where the discussion is taking place
  2. GMail and other clients that group emails into threads do a better job at keeping those grouped by context. Now it's just a long thread that you have to filter to figure out what is what. Now that the Feedback and Planning group is the place for dev discussions, I would like to keep the notifications in one place and prioritize them when scanning my email.

Notification subject will include the topic title once we upgrade the community to 1.9.

But it's a good point that having also the group name in the subject would give even more control on organizing the emails.

However I wonder if the subjects would become too long.

@beck24 is there a good reason we should use your notifications subjects plugin for this? How's the perf impact on very large groups?

@beck24 typo: is there a good reason not to use that plugin?
