I am not in this favor. Mail is mail, ranch is ranch. It is good what it is currently.

Nitin meant for the forums you are watching or the posts you are watching. If you are watching multiple forums then it becomes difficult to track the forum name from the email notifications.

So all remains same, just that the current emails being sent out would have to have some extra information.

Not to include the post contents was a deliberate decision that is unlikely to be revised. I suppose we could include the forum name, although -in general- the topic subject should make it clear what it is about.

The emails that we receive are still the same. (forum name and newest reply is still not in the emails).
It was said that the email will comprise of forum name and newest reply.

Please look into this matter. Waiting eagerly for the new email format.
Thanking you in advance.

The forum names can be seen in the email. Along with the title for which the post is being replied and by whom.

It doesn't say anything about including the newest reply. It says the forum name will be included in new reply notification emails.

OH! sorry I got that.
But I thought forum name will be a part of subject (in email) along with the title.
So you don't have to open the email just to check out what forum does it belong to.

Most often we find less meaningful titles which makes it hard to guess which forum do they belong to.
Moreover, say for eg. sometimes you are working on a web-app when you get a java in general mail. I surely wouldn't like to answer it unless it has a meaningful subject, but at the same time if I get a struts2 query mail, I would love to answer that even if the subject is not equally meaningful.

Hoping we'll be getting the forum name as part of the subject in a email along with the title of the query soon. In the meantime, thanks for including the forum name in the content of the email.

Probably not. That might make for quite long subjects.

I asked to include only the forum name like Struts, HTML, Java General, J2EE etc.

Will these names(hardly 10-15 characters) make the subject too long?

We have lots of forums that have much longer names, so - yes.

For example, "EJB and Other Java EE Technologies" is a long forum name.
