those are all nice suggestions, thanks.  i'll see if we can work those
into an upcoming development release.  the only potential snag is if
people already are parsing the emails, they'll scream about changing
the format.  all you pesky users make our job so much harder... ;)

instead of having a script parse emails to resubmit jobs that failed
with a certain code/signal, you should probably check out the
"on_exit_remove" setting in your submit description file:

(search for "on_exit_remove").
