I need some advice on improving the clarity of emails sent by alerts.
I set up some alerts whilst I was away and when they fired others were unable to interpret them. All I need is basic information. Is there any way to remove all the extra information in the body and just have Subject.

You would need to have a resource who can modify the default splunk python script, as this is the script that actually send the emails. It resides in:
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/bin/sendemail.py
I would advise making a copy of this script with another name
Thoroughly test the script changes as this would affect all outgoing alerts.
Once you wish to use the new python email script you can point splunk to use it by creating a
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/local/commands.conf
You will need a [sendemail] section to point to your new script.
[sendemail]
filename = your_sendemail.py
streaming = false
run_in_preview = false
