IMHO it would be much better to change it like this:
---
Subject:
TYPO3 Workspace Note: Stage Change for content element 171, file reference 103
Body:
At the TYPO3 site "My test site" (http://mytestsite.tld/typo3/)
in workspace "Example workspace" (1)
the stage has changed for the element(s) "Changed a heading" (content element tt_content:171, file reference sys_file_reference:103) at location "/Congratulations/Features/" in the page tree:

The intended audience for this mail are editors which may not have the technical background to relate table names to the elemnts changed in BE. So I would really prefer "translated" (tt_content --> content element) descriptions of what's going on. The neccessary information can probably be fetche from TCA.
Maybe it would be even more helpful to change the subject of the workspace notification to something simpler like:
"TYPO3 Workspace Note: Stage Change fpr page /Congratulations/Features/".
This would relate changes to something really simple (a page) which is a concept all editors should understand. It would also help to understand the relevance of a change much easier as editors could easily understand which page (branch) has changed.
