Some time ago, all e-mail notifications from Jira included event type in Subject by default. It was very usefull. Now I don't see this. According to the support (https://support.atlassian.com/browse/JST-34176), "this was a deliberate change that was intended for the JIRA 4.4 release but it appears to have only hit Atlassian OnDemand with JIRA 5. The reason for the change is that JIRA emails can now be more easily organised into conversations in gmail or other mobile applications." It was suggested to vote for JRA-7266 as a workaround. Apparently, it can take probably a lot of time to get into a roadmap for implementation. On the other hand, there is a simple principle: if a new program feature is questionable (as in this case), it should be complemented with an option to switch it off. I think this is much simplier to implement such a check-box in the Administration section than a general-purpose template editor.
