[Bro] question about send_email_notice

Bro users and developers,

We have modified our notice action filters; some notices/alerts get sent
via email (while others only get logged to file_notice).

A small snippet:

redef notice_action_filters += {
 [[AddressScan, PortScan, PasswordGuessing ]] = send_email_notice,
};

redef notice_action_filters += {
 [[ProtocolDetector::ProtocolFound, ProtocolDetector::ServerFound ]] =
file_notice,
};


My question is: Is it easily possible to place additional information in
the email notices themselves?

For example, an AddressScan mail might simply say, "10.11.12.13 has
scanned 100 hosts (45653/tcp)". It would save a log of analyst time
("grep time" if you will) if the mail included the hosts which were
considered scanned by Bro.

Thanks,
Matt Cuttler
