    Description

      Hi,

      Currently there is a documentation on jira website to modity email content :

      http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Adding+Custom+Fields+to+Email

      However there is no way to modify email subject.

      It could be usefull if the subject could be parameterized.

      In our case, we had the standard subject :

      (issue action) : (issue name) (issue summary)

      but we modified MailingListCompiler.java to have :

      (issue name) (issue summary): (issue action)

      Users in our company prefers that way as it is more easy to sort their emails by subject and group every mail related to a specific issue.

      We just modified the file : MaillingListCompiler.java

      line 323 :
      < return translatedSubject + ": " + emailSubject.getSubjectTrailer();
      > return emailSubject.getSubjectTrailer() + ": " + translatedSubject ;

      It is an ugly hack for our need but I think it could improve the usability if this things could be modified in administration or user preferences.
