A different email style for notifications was requested more than once (with smaller variants). Basically, what we want to obtain is a more compact (and readable) email to be sent to users, so that only the relevant modifications that triggered the notifications will be shown.

An example is always worth 1000 words; a sample email I got from mantis:

The following issue has been UPDATED.

Summary:                    Avoid using "example.com" in configuration options
Description: 
Both config_inc.php.sample and config_defaults_inc.php set, by default or
after conditional checks, some parameters with example.com domains.

for instance, config_inc.php.sample has:

$g_webmaster_email = 'webmaster@example.com';

While no harm is being done, I think the default should be to point to
localhost (which is, btw, what is done on the Fedora package with a patch)
