Description

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.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

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.
