Paul Joseph Davis updated INFRA-3164:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: example-email.txt

Emails are now being generated as described. I'm attaching an example email so people can comment on parts they like or dislike. There are some parts of the edge cases that are a bit weird still mostly relating to cases when a ref update causes a large number of emails to be generated. I'll post a link to the docs that describe the current behaviour when I write them.

For now I'd like pointers on content and formatting or any other suggestions in that regard.
