Title:
Edited comment text

Area:
Inbox

Summary:
Thanks to the new code push, the bug here [http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3479] means that edited comments aren't repeated in the DW Inbox, but the message is unhelpful in telling you what the comment actually says.

Description:
The text says "This comment was edited", but unless you've seen edited comments before (when they didn't say that, and instead just gave the whole comment) you might not know that the notification before the edit is exactly the same as the one after the edit. The text given in the "edited comment" notification is confusing, because then you're told that the comment was edited but without the comment itself (which is in your inbox, but it's easy to assume that the notification sent before the edit is static).

I suggest that the text be changed to something like "This comment was edited. Please see the original notification for the updated text" so it's clear that there is, in fact, a notification of the new contents of the comment.
