SUMMARY

I guess it would be good to rename the email format of the "FROM" field to "KDE Discuss <noreply@discuss.kde.org>" and the subject prefix to "[KDE Discuss]" in order to be able to quickly identify in the email inbox which emails are from this KDE forum and which are from others.

I participate in a few other forums that use Discourse, and they all use the same setup, which makes it a little tricky to tell them apart quickly without actually opening the email.

I guess this change would not be so complicated to make.

1 - It currently shows like this in Gmail:

My suggestion is to configure discourse in order to show like this:

2 - Same for the "From" field in the email body. This is what we currently have:

https://discuss-cdn.kde.org/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1bd19df87b1ad59e2b277a9f472780bc9df68ece.png

This is what it should look like in the email raw body after configuration in the discourse:

This setting has now been changed.

Comment 3 John Veness 2023-08-11 22:25:23 UTC

I notice that although the subject line prefix now says "KDE Discuss", the From: field display name still says just "Discuss". Can that also be changed to "KDE Discuss"?

Comment 4 Ben Cooksley 2023-08-12 02:20:16 UTC

I've made some additional tweaks to the setup now.
