Ignoring automated notifications without requests

Q: What was decided, and why?

Keep it as context when no action is called for. The message was just a notification, it did not ask for anything to be done. They did not need to check on it or take any action. It was enough to keep the message for context, in case it was needed later. No action was required because the message was automated and did not request anything.
