Currently, Mahara 17.10, the notification includes all the pages that
are part of a collection. Rather than listing them all, it should be the
collection title that is listed. When you have a collection consisting
of more than 3 pages, the notification gets unnecessarily long.

Example of status quo:

You have been sent a notification from MyPortfolio Schools. Message follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: New access to pages "Design for Learning v.3", "Home v.3",
"Learning-focused Culture v.3", "Professional Learning v.3", "Professional
Relationships v.3", "Teaching as Inquiry v.3", "Teaching v.3", "Te Tiriti o
Waitangi partnership v.3"

Title:
  "Collections" email notification?

Status in Mahara:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Email notifications should be more descriptive. When a collection is
  shared, the notification email should say "a collection has been
  shared with you" (rather than just listing the first Page in the
  collection).

  Our students often share pages with their faculty mentors. We are
  trying to get students to use collections more, because they are often
  sharing 3-4 related pages with their mentor at a time.

  The faculty mentors are confused about whether or not each student is
  sharing individual pages with them, or a collection, because the
  notification emails do not differentiate between the two. When a
  students shares a collection, the faculty's notification email only
  lists the first page in the collection.
