      I received this email this morning, and it struck me that it could be improved:

      The project Confluence - Unit Tests has the following 1 change(s) by 1 author(s):
      
      *Samuel Le Berrigaud* made the following changes at 2007-01-09 09:45:20.0

      The build has 0 failed tests and 1066 successful tests.

      Thanks,
      
      Bamboo
      

      Some suggestions:

      • We know how many authors and comments there are. Why the '(s)' ?
      • Can we use a more user friendly date? How about, 9:45am on 9/Jan/07 ?
      • If all tests are successful, can we just say 'All 1066 tests passed' ? '0 failed tests' whilst technically correct, sounds awful.
      • The 'from' address is just 'bamboo@atlassian.com'. Can we change that to have a nice name (perhaps use the application's name? 'Atlassian's Bamboo instance' or something similar?

      It would also be great to have HTML versions of these emails, but I'll raise a separate issue for that.
