Adjusting Mantis Generated Emails

[newmantisuser]

Hi guys,

Wondering if there is a way to 'trim the fat' from Mantis generated emails. I have had reports from users that there is 'to much' information in the emails generated by Mantis. Is there a way to pick and choose what gets included in an email Generated by Mantis, say for example when a user closes a bug, Mantis will generate and send out emails to everyone associated with the bug with all the gory details. See a sample email generated from Mantis below:

I think I may have to edit core/email_api.php but have no Idea where to start. Can someone give me a few pointers? Ideally I would like something such as the following in the Mantis Generated Email:

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. At the end of the work day yesterday I found the same code buried deep inside the email _api.php and just started to get into commenting things out before I left for the day.

Thank you so much for researching this issue.

You would think the Mantis folks would atleast provide instruction or a plug-in to modify Mantis generated email.

Cheers
