Would it be possible to add some text (along the lines of “This is an automated message”) to every PM sent by the system, e.g. on promotion or when badges are awarded?

Alternatively, is there any way to identify and edit all of these messages?

Thanks.

You can definitely do this through `/admin/customize/site_texts`, though the ease of doing that might be limited by the fact that search results are limited to 50. All system messages should come up (up to 50 of course) by searching for `system_messages`\[1\].

After a little side testing, `text_body_template`\[2\] has a lot of the templates, but it’s (again) limited by the 50 seaech result max.

1. `/admin/customize/site_texts?q=system_messages` 

2. `/admin/customize/site_texts?q=text_body_template`

That 50 limit is very limiting!

I’ve got links to the default yml files on the customise text page so will search for what you suggest. Thanks.
