Currently we send two types of emails. In both cases, we log the fact that emails were sent, but in neither case is the information logged very helpful.

Asset that has been bookmarked has been updated
Currently, we log this:
"Sent message to 2 users when updating data_set 113."
It would be more useful to have more information available: Which users were notified, but also to have easier access to the numbered entities mentioned:
"Sent message to users 234 and 257 when updating data_set 113.", or even
"Users <234>, and <257> notified when updating data_set <113>", and have each of the be clickable. Or even,
"\, and \ notified when updating \."
Review Reminder messages
Currently, we log items like this:
"Sent ReviewReminder message to user 138."
But we don't mention what they are being notified about. Would be more useful to see this:
"Reminder sent to user 138: Assets 432 and 563 need review, asset 876 is overdue.", or
"Reminder sent to <user 138>: Assets <432> and <563> need review, asset <876> is overdue.", or
