    Add X-Mahara- headers to forum emails (Bug #882891)
    
    Forum email subjects are unwieldy so move forum name and group name to
    custom headers so users can filter as well as have a more concise
    subject line. Values in headers trimmed to 100 char based on information
    at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2721605/maximum-size-of-email-x-headers

Title:
  Shorten subject line of forum emails

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Forum emails have very long subject lines which in some cases prevent
  users from being able to see what threads each email is in (see
  attached screenshot from a real Mahara.org forum).

  I propose this:

  - remove the group name and the forum name from the subject line
  - create a new X-Mahara-Group header for the group name
  - create a new X-Mahara-Forum header for the forum name
  - only include the thread topic in the subject line of emails

  This would make the subject line useful again and it would still allow
  people to use filters to move emails to the right folder (these
  filters would be based on the new headers instead of the subject
  line).
