So I sent myself a message using the contact module, and the message is prepended with a bunch of information that I felt would be confusing for a large percentage of my users. I decided to look into changing it, and possible changing the site name being prepended to the subject.

davidw,

davidw (http://www.rism.ac.th/risweb/index.php?q=user/1) has sent you a
message via your contact form
(http://www.rism.ac.th/risweb/index.php?q=user/1/contact) at RUAMRUDEE
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL.

If you don't want to receive such e-mails, you can change your settings at
http://www.rism.ac.th/risweb/index.php?q=user/1.

Message:

Just checking the personal contact form.

Notice that the actual message itself is less than 20% of the total number of characters sent. In terms of usability this needs work. The solution to fixes this message is to install the locale module and translate the strings that form the message. However it seems to me that this is a feature the contact module should include by default, just like all of the other configurable email forms that exist.

I'm happy to install Drupal 7.x and work out a patch for this behaviour. It seems that there has been a push to keep the contact module small and light, but this feature would require an additional settings page, and slightly reworked logic to create the message so it's minimal code.

Anyone think this is worth adding to Drupal Core?
