[thunderbird] Make the text displayed in notification more relevant #62

Since Thunderbird 38 messed up Linux libnotify support I have to use GNotifier, and it's great addon! However, I'd like the notification looked more like it used to on pure Thunderbird 31.7.

This is a notification I can see on Fedora 22 with GNotifier 1.8.9.1:

notification

I'd suggest that "New message!" text is a "clutter", because seeing Thunderbirds icon here, I can safely assume I have a new email, no need to tell me again. I'd suggest a new design of the notification (summary and body terms are from notify-send --help) to look more like this:

SUMMARY: $subject
BODY: $from writes: "$body_excerpt"

new_notification

...via:

notify-send -i thunderbird "This is a subject" "Michal Nowak <newman.x@gmail.com> writes: \"Here comes the body...\""

Latest commit #96 made by @gabrielfin brings possibility to customize e-mail notifications. I think it gives you enough flexibility to define whatever layout you like to have. Please check the latest xpi.
