Include Server Name in Email Alerts

I have about 8-days left on my trial version of SQL Monitor 2.0, and have a question about email alerts. If I get an actual SQL alert (vs. Server alert), I'll get an email like this:
Subject: 
MyDatabase_20110109: Database unavailable [Raised - High]

Body:
ID	65563

SQL Server	(local)
Object	MyDatabase_20110109
Alert type	Database unavailable
Level	High
Time raised	1/11/2011 1:19:43 AM (UTC)
View alert

OR
Subject:
(local): SQL Server Agent Service status [Raised - High]

Body:
ID	329

SQL Server	(local)
Alert type	SQL Server Agent Service status
Level	High
Time raised	1/6/2011 9:18:14 PM (UTC)
View alert

The issue is that it doesn't tell me which server it came from. I know all I have to do is click on the alert to see it, but I would like to know which server (server name) it's coming from. Is there any way to change this? I have a mix of about 16 database servers to monitor, and it would be nice to see if I need to roll out of bed to fix an issue on a production server, or go back to sleep if it's only a development server.

I'm loving the software so far, btw!

Thanks!

    Subject: SQL Monitor–524551 | tst-priya2 > (local) | Blocked process (Raised - Low)

Body:

SQL Server:	(local)
Machine:	tst-priya2

    Also, if you think that you need more time to evaluate SQL Monitor then please contact support@red-gate.com. They will be more than happy to give you trial extension license key.

    Thanks,
    Priya

    Yes, I was on 2.0. I just upgraded to 2.1. Much better, thank you!

    I'm hoping my purchase request gets approved before my trial expires, but I'll be sure to request an extension if necessary.
