I have highlighted some irrelevant information in the subscription emails that I would like consolidated (that's a euphemism for nuked 😄 ). The current subscription emails don't play well with small screen monitors (netbooks, phones) or with inbox features such as GMail's Message Sneak Peak.
I consider this one of my higher-priority annoyances with regards to increasing workflow efficiency when interacting with the forums.
(I know this has been suggested before, but I could not find the existing thread... please link to previous discussion if you know the thread)

Yes, that's why I left one of the two subscription management links unhighlighted. Even if you're required to keep both, I don't mind extra text at the end of an email so much as the beginning. Like the Subject, as long as the important information comes first, trailing information can be ignored.

Yes, I agree about the subject. There should be a common tag for easy filtering, but it should be much smaller
(e.g. "[NI Forum] <title of thread or post>")
You might also want to select "plain text" instead of "HTML" for the format. This might get rid of the NI header image.
