Bug Description

A typical mail from Soyuz looks like this:

 * Source Package: bzr-gtk
 * Version: 0.99.0-1~jaunty2
 * Architecture: i386
 * Archive: bzr-proposed PPA
 * Component: main
 * State: Failed to build
 * Duration: eight minutes
 * Build Log: https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive/proposed/+build/1926922/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-i386.bzr-gtk_0.99.0-1%7Ejaunty2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
 * Builder: https://launchpad.net/builders/nannyberry
 * Source: not available

The first thing I need to know is: do I actually need to do anything about this? If the build succeeded, that's nice and I can delete the mail. If it failed I need to work out why. This data is buried in the middle of a paragraph of trivia and/or way off to the right hand side. It would be nice if it announced success or failure in the subject and up front.

It actually only sends them when there's a failure, but that's not obvious either :)
