Is that actually necessary?

We merged some old topics regarding meeting planning, and the notifications that went out caused someone to add something to this week’s meeting agenda that was several months old because they assumed the notification was from something current – it looked like it was a new reply.

Or maybe add something that describes what’s really happening, rather than making the email notifications look like a new post/reply?
