If it can be solved with just a 1st line of the body with the project
name, this should be really easy to solve. Anyway, I will try to check
if overriding the mail creation methods would easily add the Keyword
header.

Ok, although I guess that it would be enough to update it each time
the master starts the builds. I will try to check if there is a way to
update this file every time the master is going to start the build.

Ok, I will check if this is feasible.
