How do I customize the subject line for email notifications when someone comments on an issue?

Question

I want to customize the subject line for email notifications, specifically when someone comments on an issue.

All I want to do is put in some custom text, so I found some info and opened up this file:
JIRA_INSTALL/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/templates/email/subject/issuecommented

and see:

#disable_html_escaping() ($issue.key) $issue.summary

I don't have much experience coding, I just want to put in something like "Someone Commented on this Issue"

Suggestions? Am I in the right place? Any specific syntax I need to use?

No luck, I just stuck with a generic Subject Line for the time being.

Thanks for the suggestions, in the future I'll come back to this.
