Make it possible to customise the subject of emails sent from the log4net SMTP appender

It's possible to get reload failure notification emails via the log4net SMTP appender. 

That's useful, even better would be if the subject line could also be customised. Looks like it's not a huge code change (but still a change, of course), example here.

Having this it would be possible to have alert emails with subjects such as "Reload task named '<reload task name>' has failed". Would be useful.

There's talk about the general publishing, alerting etc experience in the QMC will get a facelift too, but awaiting that the above could maybe be a quick & easy fix?

Please mark the post as a solution if it provided you with a solution to the topic at hand. Thanks!

That would be very helpful

or build a e-mail notification in the QMC, that would be better.

Since writing the original post I badly needed the ability to send alert emails when tasks failed or were manually aborted, so I added this feature to the open source Butler tool. 

Details here

Sample email sent when a reload task fails:
