np, the only reason I didn’t reply straight away was I’d just started to feel ill with a nasty bout of the flu I’ve just recovered from, and couldn’t wrap my head around any possible solution to the legitimate problem.
We definitely want to be able to distinguish between different types of messages in the subject for our use case.
I wonder if the solution might be to set the subject based on why a user is recieving a notification, so for a notification being sent to reps-leadership, admins and @user1, the subjects are like this:
reps-leadership: [Reps Leadership] Test for Discourse
admins: [Admin] Test for Discourse
@user1: [PM] Test for Discourse
That does still leave the possibility of the problem of a user being in multiple groups, and so sent the notification for multiple reasons (although it would require them to be watching all group inboxes), but I expect this is quite a small edge case, and we can just resort back to using [PM] Test for Discourse if it comes up.
With this solution, it would seem to make most sense to have this as a global setting, rather than one on specific groups.
What are the team’s thoughts on this solution?
