Ability to edit email notifications

Post by iAmNotorious »

I think it would be a great option to be able to edit the end-of-job and disk full notifications that are sent. I'm attempting to have them emailed to my cell phone via SMS (phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com), but they problem is that SMS are limited to 160 characters. If it were possible to edit a multi-line text box with variables so that I could do something like "Job: %job has %status with an average speed of %avgspd." So that the text message would say "Job: (NZB Name) has completed/failed with an average speed of 1636KBps." I believe this would be  a much welcome addition.

In release 0.5.0 there will be email templates, so that you can determine
your own format.
In fact it's already implemented, but is only available in the early 0.5.0 alpha's.
(no binaries)

Well I spent about 10 minutes and wrote a script to send a text message via sendmail, but the post processing scripts have limited arguments. Maybe we could have the following variables added?

$7 = size in bits
$8 = time in seconds

speed could be figured by math as needed by the script.

We will only support the new email templates, which will get sufficient variables.
