Change shout email format, to be more useful to GMail users
Suggestion: Change the email format to start with the shout message (if any), to save me from having to open most shout emails.
Currently, the message looks like:
>gina shouted from Clyde Common on Jan 04, 2009 6:30 pm.
>
>"Yummy burger!"
Some mailreaders (eg, GMail) show the first line of text in the message list; for shout emails, it's information I already know (since the email subject is the user & place, and the email date is pretty close to the shout date).
I'm suggesting that you put the shout message first - maybe like
>"Yummy burger!"
> -- gina, shouting from Clyde Common on Jan 04, 2009 6:30 pm.
(If there's no messge, the current format's fine.)

Inappropriate?Good idea, Bryan! How about the most important info in the subject itself?
gina at Clyde Commons
gina at Clyde Commons: "Yummy burger!"
gina left Clyde Commons
I might even go back to email notifications if that were the case. I miss seeing where everyone is going (and what they're shouting), but it was too cumbersome for me to open all of them.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Hey Adam and Bryan,
I like that idea, because I suffer from the same problem in my email updates. I'll tinker around with a solution and see how that works!
Cheers,
