Suggestion: SL notification emails

tiby · 07/21/2010, 07:50

Hello,

I think it'd be helpful to change the Project e-mail notifications so that the title(name) of the project (maybe the tags, or a couple of them as well) would appear in the title of the e-mail too, instead of "New ScriptLance Project Notice(project id)"

Although this current title is helpful for quickly seeing the messages from ScriptLance ( one can setup a filter to do this job), it's not telling anything about the containing message, and makes it harder to read through - let's say 100 messages. And I believe that most serious programmers here are getting a lot of e-mails, but surely are not intending to take on every project. (I myself can tell if I'm interested in a project only by it's title and tags, just about every time; sure, there are those wrongly named, not named at all or ambiguous ones, but not the majority)

So this change would save the time we take to open an e-mail (and for a large number of them, the results will show)

What do you think?

This is a great idea; the current notification email subjects are far too ambiguous.

Yep that's a good thought for sure. Save many programmers shifting through each email.
