[hobbit] Alert mails with the Ack-Code

[Everett, Vernon]

Just to make my life a misery, we have had a change of heart.
After explaining what the Ack-Code is, people have decided they like it, but want the corresponding Ack-Code to appear on the recovered message subject line.

Any easy way to do that?
I have meddled with the scripts, an removing the Ack-Code was far simpler than I thought (Script available for those who want it)
But the Ack-Code is -1 on a recovered message.

Regards
   Vernon

Unfortunately, that is burned into hobbitd/do_alert.c as fixed and unconditional.  You'd either have to modify the source and rebuild, or use a SCRIPT to get what your want (and the latter is probably an easier solution).
