Sliver operations do not generate OESS circuit notification for longer project name

[lnevers@bbn.com]

Sliver operations with longer project names do not generate OESS email notifications even though the slivers are created/deleted and changes are shown in the OESS web ui.

Project names that generate OESS circuit email notifications: ln-test, ln_test, Luisa_Nevers-Test.

Project names that do not generate OESS circuit email notifications: Luisa_Nevers-Test-Proj_01, Luisa_Nevers-Test-Proj-01

It turns out that this problem is due to company imposing a limit on email subject length.

I believe it is not possible to get this company policy modified. I will move testing back to the shorter project name to avoid these failure.

Luke is it possible to get ​chaos@bbn.com and Josh Smift removed from the GENI-FOAM workgroup. Both have left BBN.
