Title:
Specify who posted News posts in the email notification

Area:
news, notifications

Summary:
Specify who posted News posts in the email notification.

Description:
For people who mostly follow these announcements via the email notification that is sent out rather than reading it on their reading page, it is a little confusing because the email always states "There's a new announcement in dw_news" but doesn't say who posted the announcement.
Since Mark and Denise change who makes the announcements and since they refer to each other a lot during them it can take a while to figure out who made the announcement. It would be nice if it said something like "Mark made a new announcement in dw_news" instead.

I don't currently get mailed announcements of posting to any communities, so I have to ask: is it only the News announcements that don't reveal their author, or is it all notifications of an entry in a community? If this information isn't included for any communities, I'd like this applied generically to all of them.
