As I am also involved in some projects as a developer or technical member I must scan all of the mails to check whether or not there are issues were I should be involved in this role. Id would be nice if one could configure the mails subject line using a format string syntax with some placeholders for: reporter assigned to ('assignee') last edit by ('lasteditby') full project name ('projectname') first X letters of the project name current status ('status') current resolution ('resolution') fixed prefixes / suffixes / infixes Using this I'd like to configure a subject line like the following (I'll use Python-Syntax for the format string): `"Issue for %(projectname).3s... %(id)05i %(status).3s %(reporter).3s / %(lasteditby).3s -> %(assignee).3s %(summary)s"` combined with the array 'projectname' -> 'ABCXYZ' 'id' -> 42 'reporter' -> 'tivonut' 'lasteditby' -> 'dlmueller' 'assignee' -> '' 'status' -> 'acknowledged' 'summary' -> 'show status in email subject' ... should output `"Issue for ABC... 00042 ack tiv/dlm -> ___ show status in email subject" (where '_' should be a non breaking space)` This whould ensure a fixed size subject prefix (good for sorting), a fixed prefix string for filtering rules within the e-mail client and an easy customization.
