But on EVERY email system I have (Outlook, Mutt, Blackberry), the
"Message" is below the fold. Which means that EVERY hour I have to
select the message, then page down, just so I'm sure that it's only
MB.P0.F1.RS that has failed and not MB.P1.F1.RS (which would be bad)
or MB.P0.F0.RS (which would be worse).
Why can't we have informative subjects like "bork:SC: CPU_FAN @
MB.P0.F1.RS has FAILED"? Or at least put the "Message" at the
top of the email!
Worse, you could have a NetApp, where the message would be buried
about 2/3 of the way down between a complete dump of the system
configuration, a blog about knitting that's been hijacked by Sicilian
CRT-cleaning-cloth spammers, and an ASCII picture of a leopard. Or at
least things that are about as useful. But at least with NetApp by the
time you noticed an important message you'd have gotten a call from
the front desk asking if you were expecting a package with the
replacement part in it. AND it would miraculously be the right
replacement part.
