Yes, I know. The problem is: if I make the change I don’t really need the 
mail. But if I didn’t make the change, a single line change in the 
configuration of one host may get lost if there are bigger changes in 
other hosts as well.
So at least I would be glad if I can see the hostnames in the subject 
line.

You’re right and I don’t say that this change would help everyone.  
A configuration option would be nice, so everyone can choose.

Shade and sweet water!
