      As a student
      When I get a message to confirm that I submitted my assignment
      Then I would like to see a list of the files I submitted, to help reassure me that I submitted what I inteded to submit (or other similar indication for other submission types).

      As an institution
      When a student has submitted their Assignment
      Then I would like that message to contain a clear summary of what the submission was, to reduce the potential for "Moodle ate my homework" disagreements later.

      We are thinking of adding a bit to the email like:

      Your submission contained:
      Tim-Assignement-01.docx | 14.3 KB
      supporting_data/survey data.xls | 1.2 MB

      This would be a new optional callback which assign submission subplugins could implement, and we would implement that for file submission as above, and online text submission (probably giving a word count).
