On a semi-related topic, I wonder if the email output can be made a little more verbose by including the failure reason ("kernel: ERROR: failed to boot: Kernel panic") that is already present on the website.
That's a good idea. We'll look into that.
I would also find a deep link into the boot log useful here, but that may be adding too much information, as I understand the desire to not put too much text into these email.
We've gone back and forth on this. The URLs tend to be rather long, so cause clutter, so we're looking at URL shorteners.
On the other hand, we're considering sending multipart emails. The text/html part would remain clean/sparse, but the text/html part could include links. This is what we're exploring now.
I'm curious though, I know some folks really don't like HTML mail, but is multipart acceptable as long as there's a text/plain part?
