 I agree that this would be nice. Right now my broken workflow looks like this.
 1. Be notified by notify-osd of a new message (no subject sender or elipsized 
 body included).
 2. Click on Evolution server in indicator-applet.
 3. See urgent hint for evolution in taskbar (evolution is in another 
 workspace).
 4. Click task bar evolution item, evolution window is activated/focused 
 (workspace is switched).
 5. Scroll down messages list.
 6. Select new mail.

 With the mail-notification package, I was able to see the subject and
 sender, and immediately show the message, delete it or mark as read.
   

I agree, the email notification should include some sort of condensed
sender / subject / body in the case where there are few new emails (no
more than 3, I'd say). More than that, and I only want to see 5 new
emails.

Neil, this is not needed for 9.04. I agree with your proposal to engage
with the Evolution team to expose the needed information to plugins, and
would ask that you add that to the detailed plan for 9.10
notifications-and-indicators.

I would also suggest that the last n emails be exposed in the
messaging indicator on the same basis that we are exposing the last n
people who signed in in the previous 3 minutes from Pidgin. In other
words, it remains a quick way for you to respond to a specific notification.

The two use cases are similar:

 * I see a notification that Jane signed in, I open a new conversation
with Jane in Pidgin immediately
 * I see a new message from Jack, I open that message directly immediately

Both are semi-ephemeral (hey, do we need a new word there? semipheral?)
in that they allow me to respond to that event for a short while, after
that they blend into the background and I would go to the inbox and
reply to the mail there or go to the buddy list and start the
conversation from there.
