Please add spaces around the plus-signs. Or maybe you could rework these title-related lines a little, including line 40, to be a little less terse but more readable?

Not a big deal, but here you could use array_first().

I wonder what sanity checks we should apply here. We probably should not use too long subjects. Also we should parse the From header content. We definitely should decode the content, not pass as-is.
See program/actions/mail/show.php for hints on what we normally do with subject and from header.

Thanks, I'll take a look. I wasn't sure whether to limit the subject length here or on the client side.

I tried with a long subject, and KDE makes them scrollable:
I haven't tested with Windows yet, but I think it truncates them.

Thanks for the pointer. I thought the headers would already be decoded here.

I don't like this whole thing. Neither "Daniel L +3" looks good nor "New Mail! (3)".
How about we show the sender/subject only when there's a single new mail message? And "(n) New Mail!" in other cases?

I haven't had free time to revise this yet, but I'll get back to it soon. |

Updated to properly decode the from and subject headers. I updated it to just show the sender name rather than their email address too, to make the notification a bit more concise. Tested with a multi-byte (Chinese) subject: Tested with a Chinese sender name: |

Name can be empty. In such case let's fallback to the email address. Also, in some corner cases From header might not exist at all.
