RocketChat currently lacks serious context/aesthetics to an email

As much as we like staying online all the time in rocket chat and things are happening only in rocketchat windows, there are always some residual interaction that happens asynchronously in emails (as there is valid case of email notification that goes out when somebody does @all or 1-1 message to you and you have email notification turned on ). Although residual, email communication should also bring in context and not mere haphazard bombardment; sadly Rocketchat emails currently belongs to the latter.

Try it
If somebody has email notification "turned on" in their direct messaging and on the mentions, you can basically mail-bomb by mentioning his/her handle or doing "enter" demarcated directing messaging with them when they are not online.

Hip vs Rocket in emails

How about bringing some ideas from Hipchat folks?

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the email notification flow for direct messages and mentions, then review how the described scenarios are rendered into emails. Done would require an agreed design that adds useful conversation context rather than isolated notifications.
