This needs to be formatted somehow and to place the key information at the top of the email. b) The emails don't say what failed in many cases. You have to follow the link to find out it was "Publishing Layer Tarballs" that failed for example, there is no indication in the email. We can do better than this. I'm filing a bug to ensure tit gets tracked/fixed. 33033 1 bluelightning 2013-05-10 09:01:10 +0000 This has been bothering me as well - just deciphering which branch being built is a bit of a struggle. 33034 2 ross.burton 2013-05-10 09:07:57 +0000 If the branches used could be pulled out and displayed in a nice way at the top, that would be useful. Bonus points for putting them into headers for filtering too. 33157 3 elizabeth.flanagan 2013-05-20 17:51:49 +0000 I agree. This is on my radar (as well as a lot of usability issues this release.) 35126 4 elizabeth.flanagan 2013-07-29 18:07:07 +0000 I'm going to mark this closed as the build emails are much better now. We will continue on improving this, but they're much better now.
