When sending bulk notifications with the "ASCII Email" method, the bulk subject line did not behave as configured in two situations:

  • If all notifications in a bulk belonged to the same host, the configured bulk subject was ignored and the subject of a single service notification was used instead.

  • The $COUNT_NOTIFICATIONS$ macro in the bulk subject was too low by one, so a bulk containing three notifications was announced as two.

Both problems are now fixed. Bulks always use the configured bulk subject (also when bulking is separated by host), and $COUNT_NOTIFICATIONS$ now reflects the actual number of notifications contained in the mail.

The HTML email method was not affected.
