Add System Name to replaceable parameters for Message Monitors in Navigator

Please add system name to the replaceable parameters for the Message monitors.


Use Case:

This is useful when you are setting up monitors in multiple systems and are sending a message to yourself. You need to know which system send the message. There is a work around but, it would be nice if there is a replaceable parameter so, when you copy the monitor from system to system you do not have to go in and change the name in the message.
For example, in one of my monitors, I have the command to execute as
SNDSMTPEMM RCP((MSCHWENK@EVERBRITE.COM) SUBJECT('Lurch Serious Storage Condition') NOTE('Serious storage condition in QSYSOPR. Address now!')

It would be nice if I could set it as
SNDSMTPEMM RCP((MSCHWENK@EVERBRITE.COM) SUBJECT('&Sys Serious Storage Condition') NOTE('Serious storage condition in QSYSOPR. Address now!')
