The exisiting email notification for new submissions works OK but the email which is sent is devoid of usefull information i.e. what the post is about.

Does anyone know where/what to edit to include the subject and perhaps some of the content of a post in the notification email?

Hardly a complete answer but I have found that the following changes add a bit of usefull info to the message which gets emailed when new content is submitted.

Edit /components/com_messages/messages.class.php

Changing the following lines:
48 global $mosConfig_site_name;
77 $subject = "A new private message has arrived";
78 $msg = "A new private message has arrived";
79 $headers .= "From: $mosConfig_site_name\r\n";

to read:
48 global $mosConfig_sitename;
77 $subject = "New content has been submitted to the $mosConfig_sitename";
78 $msg = "$message";
79 $headers .= "From: $mosConfig_sitename\r\n";

My PHP knowledge is pretty limited and I haven't yet figured out how to get it any better. It would be nice to be able to include the name of the section in the subject line and some of the text of the submission in the body. Any ideas?
