Email Notification Template Change

[phinphan]

I want to edit the template the sends out instant email notifications so that it only sends out notice of a new thread or new reply. I do not want the full text of the post to be included for security reasons.

Any suggestions as to where to begin would be most appreciated.

The results should show the notify phrase, which contains the body of the subscribed thread e-mails. Click the Edit button on the right, then click the Copy Default Text button near the bottom. This will copy the default contents of the phrase to the textarea at the bottom, and allow you to customize it.

Remove the following text from the textarea, and click Save:
