Hi all,


these are nested strings via #format:. :-) The message actually looks like this:


[cid:89b9f8d6-8197-4ac2-87f8-57922088cb12]


Do you have any other change requests to the message? :-)


Best,

Christoph

I agree with Chris here; though the split handling of the 1/more versions is nice.

As for the version name truncation, a nicer solution would be for the notifier UI to have a scrollbar if is it needed. And while fantasising, if there is more than one version to report using a UI list would be nice, especially since it would provide for a scrollbar in the eventuality that many items need listing.
