Well, I wouldn't use *both* "alert" and "bulletin" in the title. Product Alert?
Development Alert? Anomaly Alert? Application Alert? Heads Up? Like, Really
Important 411?
Our company uses "System Update" and "System Bulletin" newsletters, delivered
via email, to announce system changes and system-related events.
