Add entry title to "view this entry" email link
Title:
Add entry title to "view this entry" email link
Area:
notifications
Summary:
The links at the bottom of an email to a specific entry should include the name of the entry where appropriate.
Description:
When I receive an "X has posted a new entry email", the link to the entry is at the bottom of the email. If X has posted multiple entries, some email clients/systems[1] will truncate duplicated content thinking that it's duplicated.
This is especially annoying if using the HTML view of Gmail on a mobile device, where clicking the 'read more' link will reload the thread, marking all unread as read.
If the "view this entry" text was replaced by "view entry TITLE", this would cease to happen.
Alternatively, if the title of the entry at the top of the notification was also a link, this would also solve the specific gmail problem.
(I and Miss_S_B subscribe to each other, and tend to work different shifts, we have metered bandwidth on our mobiles, and while neither of us gets close, extra pageloads for no reason is annoying, this is a specific gmail issue, but it may apply to other clients)
ETA: [1] This includes Gmail and Conversation View in Outlook 2010, and may include other email clients, feel free to comment.
