Reformat email comment notifications to show comments on large entries

Title:
Reformat email comment notifications to show comments on large entries

Area:
notifications

Summary:
When a post is very large and there is an email notification of a comment to it, Gmail will truncate the message after X characters. Probably other webmails do the same. This means that when you open the notification, you can't see the comment, or have access to the links to interact with it, like reply.

Description:
There are a few potential ways to fix this. If a post is larger than a set character count, the notification email could be reformatted so the comment is at the top, followed by the post, which will get truncated. Alternatively, the notification could truncate the entry already so that the comment still follows it like usual, but is sure to show up.
