Modification Available? Limiting Characters of Automatic Post Response Emails

[JacquiiDesigns]

The title is probably worded horribly. I don't know how else to word it LOL - But I'm looking for a modification that will limit the amount of characters quoted in automated post response emails.

Say for instance - I'm subscribed to a thread. A new post is posted and the entire response is sent via email:

Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
Obviously you know I want to make some witty crack about my...... derriere... I won't though LOL :P

But I tell you until (and if) I upgrade my forums to the 4.0 series - I shall appreciate the hell outta your share for the 3.x.x series

I know there is a way to edit the phrase as to delete the response entirely. But what if I'd like something like the following:

Is there a modification that exists which makes this type of functionality available for the 3.8.x series vBulletin?

Thanks ;)

Anything?

I have not seen a modification to do this. I haven't looked into it, but I would imagine you could use the function fetch_trimmed_title (the same one used to make shorter titles or the thread preview) to shorten the message prior to putting it in the email.

Thanks for the response Lynne - I'm afraid coding such a thing may be a bit over my head though LOL - Perhaps I'll request and see if anyone can code such a modification ;)

Thanks again.
