Title
Notices email rubric

Short, concise description of the idea
Shorten the email notices format

Full description of the idea
It would be nice if the email notices sent out weren't so clunky.

Some mailing lists use the format [mailing list shortname] Subject, and this works very well for eyeballing different threads, as well as using rules to sort

Comments

so long as it's not in the subject. For the number of people on my friends list who don't use entry titles, Thunderbird would mark them all spam...

It already is, afaik.

Am I missing something? I actually like the current email format for comments, notices, etc.

(Or is that just me?)

And all over the world, thousands of people scream as they have to redo their email filters ;)

I don't have any strong opinion on this -- I'm used to the current setup and my eye skips over the unimportant words, but sometimes I think it would be nice to have the header be shorter so that I can see more useful context when the new email notification (from Gmail Notifier) pops up.

I'm saying this probably because I've got vested interests, but I don't like this suggestion for sheer virtue of the fact that it would make filing a pain for me

[holyloki]

Right. All I'm suggesting is that the unnecessary words are removed. 'Livejournal Notice' in the subject line is unnecessary.

[sasuko]

And what I'm suggesting is that "unnecessary" is very subjective. I've brought up the example of "LJ comment". I'm sure some people consider it unnecessary. I evidently don't

I vote to keep it the way it is. It's not perfect, but it is by no means bad enough for an overhual. IMO.
