Question

subject line in email notification

I have some subscriptions around STM32 community and appreciate email notifications for it. This gives me many mails every day with only a few of them beeing really interesting for me. So I have a look on my incoming mails from time to time and want to have at least a short reading in a few interesting ones and delete the others immediately.

Before switching to the new forum SW I received emails for my subscription with a sender field reading Community Mailer and a useful subject line like e.g.:

Re: Floating point vs fixed point calculations (STMicroelectronics Community Subscription Update)

So I see could decide very fast which mails could be deleted immediately leaving only some of them to open for reading.

 

Now all notification mails have the same sender again of course entry (now ST Community notification) and nearly all the same subject line like A new topic has been created in STM32 MCUs Boards and hardware tools. (differing only in the subscription title).

The subject line gives me not more information than the sender field, I really miss the author’s subject line in my incoming mailings list.

 

This change renders the subscriptions conpletely useless for me since I will not open 100 or more mails a day just to find the one or two interesting enough (for me) to read.

 

Is there a chance to get a useful subject line again?

Hi ​@mfgkw ,

Thank you for sharing this feedback.

The way notifications are sent from this and the platform vendor before are out of the box and changes we could do are minimal.

I will check if there are more options available and get back.

Feedback from other users is also welcome to help assess the feature's importance.

Kind regards,
Lina

I also see notifications referring to “your thread”, when it is not my thread - just one I happen to have contributed to.

 

PS:

Here’s an example:

 

This is the thread:

 

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Sometimes the messages do have useful subject lines:

I agree, this is a must-do. My most recently received message:

A new topic has been created in STM32CubeMX (MCUs)

whereas it should be

Differences between code generated for STM32CubeIDE and CMake

Or perhaps better?

[MCUs:STM32CubeMX] Differences between code generated for STM32CubeIDE and CMake

 

One of, or both categories would be nice, if terse.

Thanks,

GB

Sad to say, but this version of the forum has destroyed email subscription functionality by changing the Subject. Hopefully someone can fix this. I primarily read the forums via email as it’s much faster and easier to archive the content I want to save, and the old stuff I have survives changes like these. I do not want to scroll endlessly through web pages so unless I’m searching a particular issue. The community is lost to me for now.
