Description Brion Vibber 2013-09-24 19:06:15 UTC 
Today I got a notification email:

  Subject: "New notification at Wikitech"
  
  You have a new notification.

This was kinda useless.

The only new notification I see in the menu on the web site looks like this:

  Tfinc built instance 'scratch' in project Nova Resource:Mobile
  3 minutes ago

So if that's the thing I got notified of.... we need to include that message in the actual email.

Concur.  Echo's emails are sorely lacking in content and usefulness.  Today I got three for messages left for me on enwiki, all with buttons that said "View message".  When I clicked on them, I did not "view the message"; I went to my talk page.  Where I then had to scroll to find the message.

These emails need links to diffs.
