The subject can give a first hint if the forum post is of interest to open. However, I am used from other forums that the beginning of the post itself is also received in the notification mail, which gives already an idea when reading the notification mail what's the post really about, and on answers whether it's worth to place another answer.

So my request is to add some lines from the content to the notification mails.

I've added the entire post to the notifications.  It shouldn't be too overwhelming.

Here's a sample email I received:

A new topic has been created in forum 'Eclipse Platform'. To view the topic, go to:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=rview&goto=642292#msg_642292

This is a snippet of the new topic:
***********************************
I want to debug the java source code in eclipse.

I am able to attach and see the JDK class files but I want to be able to stick a statement into the JDK source code.
e.g. in Container.addImpl():
System.out.println ("Container.addImpl(): " + component + "\tindex: " + index);

I went to the rt.jar in the package explorer. I right-clicked to get Properties, then select Java Source Attachment and then specify a path:
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_18/src.zip
but still I get Container.class not Container.java

So then unzipped the src.zip and using that directory as the source attachment. I can edit Container.java now in Eclipse at this point. When it runs it still uses the class file and the new line appears in the Container.class, but I don't see the output on the console.

Something is still not right. How do I do this?

(Note that I'm not looking for a bug in the JDK, just want to see what its doing)

I'm not sure if anyone will complain about long mails, but at least for me this is a real improvement. Now I can track the support requests already by mail and decide whether to go to the forum to answer. Thanks, Denis!
