Bug Description

When evolution receives a message it puts up a notification which says "1 new message", this is OK in so far as it goes, but I find that it results in me having to raise the application every time to see who it's from. Surely this notification could include the sender and possibly even part of the subject since the notification is equally useful if it allows you to ignore something you're not interested in rather than stop what you're doing to open the mail client to check.

Thanks a lot for reporting this bug, however since Evolution is no longer a part of the default Ubuntu installation, this bug no longer constitutes a papercut.

For more information on what is considered a papercut, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut
