Calibre email to kindle - Series name

Hi,

I would like to send books to my kindle via email and have the title displayed on the kindle include title-series-number info so I can remember which book is first.

I have the data populated in Calibre and I've tried tweaking the subject line but it seems like I have to edit the title in the book's metadata and then send it to have this display line info.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do this?

Thanks

Alan

There's lots of ways you can set the plugboard; how do you want the title displayed?

That one will get you "Harry Potter - 1 - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" for example.

Personally I prefer:
Code:
{title}{series:| (|, }{series_index:|Book |)}
which gets me "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, Book 1)"
