Email noise reduction for failing tasks

[metra]

Description

Failing tasks can create a lot of email noise if you have both email_on_failure and sla enabled.

Use case / motivation

Outside of working hours, say 6pm through 10am, I can receive 16*2 email notifications. Every hour, one email for the failure and one email for the missed SLA.

Two ideas:

• Sending both the SLA miss and the failure email feels redundant. If a task is failing then it should be obvious that it's also missing its SLA. Perhaps skip the SLA email in this case?
• The SLA miss emails are threaded because their subject lines are equivalent. However, the failure emails include the failure date and time, which breaks threading. Consider dropping the time and/or date from the failure email?
