Hi Ben, Since the recent GitLab upgrade, all GitLab emails have "GHC | Glasgow Haskell Compiler | " prefixed to their subject lines. This reduces the bandwidth of information in my mail reader. Is there a way of going back to just "GHC |"? Thanks! :) Richard

A big +1 from me. The "GHC" part is already uninformative, but adding "Glasgow Haskell Compiler" consumes _all_ the pixels on my laptop's message-list display, leaving no clue whatsoever about which ticket this is.
Thanks
Simon

Hey all, Long uninformative prefixes are indeed a huge pain. If emails are something you GitLab masters are going to look at, I have one more suggestion. It would be nice if there was a way to tell email notifications about MRs from ones about issues. It was trivial before when we had Phab vs Trac. But now I can't find a way to make them go into different direvtories. It turns out, Gmail filters, for one, can't target individual symbols. like ! vs # (there is even an SE question about exactly telling apart Gitlab's emails https://webapps.stackexchange.com/q/52828/70750). I also used to be subscribed for notifications about Trac Wiki. Is it possible to have those from the Gitlab Wiki? I understand wiki is mirrored from https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc-wiki-mirror but if you start watching it, it won't notify about regular commits to master, only about MRs/issues, but no one opens those on that repo. -- Kind regards, Artem On Tue, Jul 23, 2019, 7:04 AM Simon Peyton Jones via ghc-devs < ghc-devs@haskell.org> wrote:

I don't know if this is possible with GMail filters but if you can filter on arbitrary mail headers it definitely is possible to make this distinction. GitLab notifications have a number of headers (e.g. X-GitLab-Project, X-GitLab-MergeRequest-IID) which make this sort of this quite simple.
I also used to be subscribed for notifications about Trac Wiki. Is it possible to have those from the Gitlab Wiki?

Hmm. Yes, commit notifications would be helpful. There is an "email on push" notifier integration [1], but it appears to only support sending to a fixed set of addresses. We would need to setup a mailing list to use it for Wiki notifications. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/integrations/emails_on_push.html

Hi Ben,

Yes, I also noticed this. Despite the progress [1] made in convincing GitLab upstream to allow number-centric titles it seems that titles just keep getting longer. I suppose I can try to sort out which commit caused the regression and revert it locally. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/21712
