Ability for Bulletin Board email notifications to include the content of the post

I was wondering if the email notifications that are sent out alerting users of a new bulletin board post, can have the message that is posted, in the email? This way a user will not have to click the link to see the message.
For example, we had a district that was closed today due to icy roads. When I posted this bulletin, the message came through to notify me of the new bulletin, but I had to click the link in the email to see what the message was for. I think, if possible, that it would be great if that notification could contain the verbiage in the bulletin posting so that the user can glance at the email to know the updates, without having to log into the system.

Thank you Andrea Bogdan! The primary reason I believe we don't do this today is so that subs will have the step of "acknowledging" the post, and you will see that in your Post Analytics report (who has seen and acknowledged the post). I'm wondering if instead of using the bulletin board to post this particular message, if it would have been ok to put in a school closed day into the calendar so the subs would be alerted to the change to their assignment via push notification or text message. Also, one more thought...we are moving toward allowing those bulletin board posts to generate a push notification to those using the free Red Rover app, which I think will help a ton once we finalize that. Thank you for the input!

Larry Foxx: Hi! Yes, we did close the school on the calendar as well, but we like to do a post so they know what is going on. I think that will be great if the bulletin board post will also go out as a push notification to those using the App.
Thanks Larry!
