But showing the whole ticket in the email would be overkill. The current one shows just what has changed - sometimes this is only a change of assignee. Suggestions to propose to GGUS? A rolling last n updates?

One of the QMUL users reads e-mail on the train. She has complained that
all the cont has been stripped - so you don't know what the ticket is
