Subject: your billing statement is now available

Body: Log on to our website because we couldn't possibly JUST FUCKING TELL YOU HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY OR WHATEVER YOU USED THIS MONTH DIRECTLY IN THE E-MAIL; no, we've got to play fucking games and make you do extra work and stop you from automatically having a record of your shit without having to deliberately log on to the platform we control and download them individually with 30 seconds worth of clicking between each one.

WTF is even the point of the email if there's NO USEFUL INFORMATION IN IT?!

It's annoying, but from a data security point of view it makes sense, personal information like that is more secure behind the login on their website than in an e-mail in plain text.

When it's billing data I can see it, but if it's a notification that someone sent you a message, you know there's no reason they can't include the message text. They just want your engagement (looking at you, LinkedIn).

No, you're absolutely right. Hiding a message behind a login is essential linkedin style click baiting essentially.
