SYMPTOMS
When a resource (user alias) receives a Task Reminder Notification e-mail message for an upcoming task, the project name is at the beginning of the notification message. If the Task Reminder is assigned to multiple resources, the initial resource receives a Notification message with the project name listed at the top of the message as expected. However, the message that is received by additional assigned resources may not list the project name at the beginning of the message.
