Comment content in @group mention

Question

Wondering if it's possible to have the Group Mention or Mention notification include the content body of the mention. Here's the use case: 
 We post a blog article. Two weeks later, we want to draw more attention to that article so we @mention the group in order to reach all members. We do it like this, "Hey @GROUP, please remember to check out this important post about puppies!" We want the notification that goes out to include the content of that comment. As it stands, the group members will only see the content NAME and the AUTHOR. They won't see the content itself. 
 I tried to change this in Admin/Notifications, but couldn't find the c omment: body from the list of tokens. Is there a way to do this?

Yes, you can change the notification content in Administration > Notifications > Notifications > Group Mention > Templates > Email - Body. Note that this would be for any mention of the group - blog post, forum, etc - not just comments. But you can get started editing the notification by going to Insert > Token and selecting Content: Body.

Looks to be 2 email notifications sent under the following scenario: 
 1) User is a group member 
 2) User has blog comment notification for the specific post turned on 
 3) User has blog notifications turned on 
 
 Note: It is only one email notification if the user does not turn on blog comment notifications for the specific post.
