Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.
Review Board includes the entire first email - the rounded rectangles with the RB description & general summary - in every single follow-up email. This creates a lot of needless verbosity and wasted scrolling when reading through RB email threads. The URL to the RB at the top of each email is about the only additional info I ever want (beyond the comment replies), and can be used if for some reason folks need a reminder of what the RB's e.g. description is (and can't, for some reason, just scroll up the thread in their email client).

It's common for people to be introduced to a review request later in the review cycle for a change, and at that point they're often newly introduced to the e-mail thread. Without the quoting, the context in the thread is lost. We have companies that highly depend on the e-mail threads, where linking to the review request URL isn't sufficient. (We actually get the opposite of this request at times -- make them more verbose, include more information.) Reducing the information in the thread would impact those companies.
Fair enough. I agree. Just passing on a user request.
