Added message and comments are passed to the template so you can read their content. New message can be accessed with $new_message var, new comment with $new_comment. In both cases accessor method is getText().

This is definitely a feature that I'm interested in. Reading the message content in my email allows me to determine if it is something that I need to respond to immediately. If it isn't, I certainly save time by not having to log in. I also like that I have an offline copy of messages.
Pardon my ignorance, but I don't suppose anyone could translate Ilija's reply and point me to the line number and exact code I could add to allow the message text to be sent along with the notification email. I'm afraid my PHP knowledge is limited to "Find and Replace."
Thanks!

You can print content of message in /application/notifier/new_message.php by putting:
where you want.
Same thing for comments, except template name is new_comment.php and code is:

I don't get the status of that info - will this feature be included in "core aC" or not? +1 for inclusion.

Its just a hack for now, nothing more. Need it? There's how to add it.

Oh, I got the idea but I think this feature is important enough to add it to "core" anytime later. In a later version (after 1.0?) we should review the screens and try to streamline the flow. The eMail messages surely will be a part of it (not just the forms).
IMO these little changes like the proposed one can improve the user experience and does not hurt (hey, we all are lazy dogs sometimes). Also, we should prevent/discourage the users from hacking their local installation which will break when upgrading to a newer version.
If it is decided that a feature should not be included in core there is still the possibility to write a plug-in or to help yourself differently. What we should avoid is to alienate users/potential project contributers by beeing repallant without explanation - this could be seen as arrogant.

That path is: /application/views/notifier/new_message.php
and /application/views/notifier/new_comment.php
Thanks for that Ilija, works great!
While I was at it added to /application/views/notifier/milestone_assigned.php
<?php echo $milestone->getDescription() ?>
and /application/views/notifier/new_comment.php

Yeah, sorry about that.

I provided an explanation why this was excluded in the start - it may confuse users to reply to that email. That emails are notifications for now, does not have any function in collaboration. To make them work we should catch the reply and post it as a reply and that requires support for email input, spam filtering etc.

Works perfectly. Thanks so much. This is such a great project. I have a bit more testing to do, but I think I'm about to make the transition from Basecamp. It's really quite impressive that you've been able to come up with a product that competes so well with such a well known and well received system as Basecamp. Good job Ilija.
