Pharos added a comment to T324061: Disable login rate limiting in Wikispore.

This is a new issue I guess triggered by some update, it didn't affect us before.

I am indeed sitting next to @jeremyb right now, and although he has shaved his beard recently, I am happy to confirm that he is indeed the same person.

Pharos added a comment to T218724: MassMessage to email should show section header, not bot username.

On further further experimentation, it appears that most of the problem came from using ~~~~~ instead of ~~~~! Using the standard 4 tildes, which we had been avoiding to have a custom signature, the first few words of the subject does now show up in the email message.

Pharos added a comment to T218724: MassMessage to email should show section header, not bot username.

OK, on further experimentation, it communicates the subject header to email if it has a character length of 10 or fewer, and only if there is no message body. If there is a message body, it communicates the first 150 characters to email (removing the last 3 with an "..."), and it seems to fail if there are fancy templates involved.

Pharos added a comment to T218724: MassMessage to email should show section header, not bot username.

Two MassMessages I sent on May 25 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pharos&oldid=prev&diff=1089767985 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pharos&oldid=prev&diff=1089772397 worked correctly in terms of posting the section header in the email (yes, the latter was the infamous accidental "Bison" stampede). I get the impression that there is perhaps a 10-character limit to section headers. I have not been able to replicate this functionality since, no matter the number of characters, have there been some technical changes recently?

Pharos added a comment to T218724: MassMessage to email should show section header, not bot username.

Did some late-night hacking with @jeremyb recently, and was able to confirm that a message with a subject header that is too long for MassMessage fails to show in the email notification, but that the exact same message works for a user manually leaving it. Email notification only works on MassMessage if the header is very short.

I went through my email inbox, it started working (displaying the section header in the email) sometime in the period between 5/12/15 and 6/28/15, and stopped working sometime in the period between 4/27/2016 and 5/21/2016. @Legoktm do you recall what changes you might have made about these times?
