Has anyone attempted to modify the formatting and content of SharePoint
notifications Email? I have a request from a user who is less interested
in reading the standard document content line that comes in Email
notifications about document change on SharePoint, and would rather see
the version comment, so that she knows what was done to the document
that has been changed, and can make a decision then about whether to
open and read the changed document.



I found the file I believe formats Email notifications (results.xsl) in
the SharePoint system folder. I also found the code that appears to get
the Description line from the urn for that object:



urn:shemas.microsoft.com:fulltextqueryinfo:description.



And I found what I believe could be the code that would or should obtain
the version comment:



Urn:schemas-microsoft-com:publishing:Comment



However, when I edit the results.xsl and add the comment urn to the
file, and replace that file in the folder (using the IIS manager for
renaming the files), the notification facility shuts down on the server.
I'm working on a test server so it's not affecting production.
