Description

Hello,

Currently both confirmation requests for export and removal both have the same Subject;
[Site Name] Confirm Action

Can we amend this to include the request type into the Subject to avoid confusion and overlooking as well as to avoid threading with the other Confirm Action.

I can definitely see users seeing this as spam and overlooking the confirmation request.

Also maybe Confirmation Request would make more sense than Confirm Action.

So something like;
[Site Name] Confirmation Request - Export Personal Data

Thanks

Added two patches. One adds the request type to the subject only, and the other adds the request type to the subject and introduces a filter on the email subject.

I am not sure on the rules of introducing a filter after beta if it is adding to a bug fix.

Tests well. I don't know what the convention for a beta is, but either with or without filters is fine by me.

Per slack - adding this with the filter is cool for beta.

Looking at 43968-without-filter.diff, somewhat unreadable, a big chunk of phpdoc inside a function call... And many multiline args, some nested.

Thinking this should be covered by the coding standards. Highest priority: readability!! No multiline stuff or comments inside of function calls unless "can't live without" :)
