Is it just me, or is there way too much "header" info in the email notifications?
An example:
To be clear, all that header info is in the body of the notification email. I don't think it's my mail client inserting it, since I belong to other groups that use the same forum software and I don't have all that in their posts.
Personally, I don't need to see all that stuff. It's a pain for me, since in my mail client I have to scroll down through the message past all that extraneous stuff to actually see the link.
I looked at my CP options, and I don't see a setting for headers in notifications... did i miss something?
And unless I'm wrong, I don't think the notifications have always come with this... seems to me they used to just start with the "You are receiving this ..."
Is this necessary? Am I the only one who finds it annoying? Can anything be done to make it go away?
Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter of "As the Squidbait Gripes"!
