I’m a member of the discuss.openedx.org community, and would like to:
- get all new posts to that forum in my Gmail Forums list, so I can scan them easily, and visit them when I need more info.
- make any posts which mention me personally be starred or otherwise flagged in my Gmail Inbox, so I know I need to respond to them ASAP.
Currently, I’ve got #1, which is great. But because all the Discourse notification emails are sent to my jill@email.com, and because gmail doesn’t have an email body: filter or recognise the special @ character in search text, there’s no way for me to specifically filter messages which have @jill in them.
Granted, these are flaws in Gmail’s filtering, not Discourse’s problem 
But if there was a separate field somewhere with these notifications that provided the info I needed, I could work around these flaws.
