Re: proposing 2 changes in the email subject

Hussayn; i like your proposal, and I'd  +1 !!

Thought it's quite an specific logic, it's much better than current
behaviour IMHO.

I had an old issue somewhere (;) ) to also add a "mask" to the
subject, in which to insert fields of the issue.

So in your examples, you'd have setted the mask in the module/issuetype to:

     "[SCARAB] ${issueId} ${action} ${title}"

but you'd easily configure it to:

     "[SCARAB] [${priority} ${issueId} ${ACTION} ${title}"

in my example I'm assuming ${ACTION} is a magic word for the result of
your proposed "status_change" info, but I'm also letting the admin
define the issue attributes that will also make their way into the
subject if needed.

Just my two cents (needles to say your proposal is perfectly doable
without my crazy ideas, so again, go on ;) )
