I’m trying to filter the content (and eventually the subject line) for “new message” e-mail notifications. Reading some other threads here got me this far:

function mm_new_message_message($email_content, $sender_name, $subject, $content, $message_link, $settings_link, $sender_id, $ud) {
	
  	
  $sender = new WP_User($sender_id);
  $sender_login = stripslashes($sender->user_login);

  $user_login = $ud->user_login;
	
	// Set up and send the message
  ob_start();

  // template stack, using vars above
  include( 'email_notif_header.php' );
  include( 'email_notif_bp_message_notification.php' );
  include( 'email_notif_footer.php' );

  $email_content = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean(); 

  return $email_content;
 
	
}
add_filter( 'messages_notification_new_message_message', 'mm_new_message_message', 1, 8);

Issue(s):
We’re not using sender_names anywhere. We’d like to use the sender’s username, and also include a link to that sender’s profile. But I can’t get the sender’s username right now with the code above.

I’m also having trouble getting the username of the recipient. The link to their messages works fine since it’s passed in directly, but I can’t get the username itself.

So the sender/sender_login/user_login stuff isn’t working, but the $content and $subject is working just fine, of course, since I’m just receiving it from the original function. Any suggestions on how to get the additional elements I need?

Finally, is there a way to directly link to the message thread referenced in the notification? There’s another thread about this in the support forums but it ended with a request that the OP request this in trac.buddypress.
