G'day, justmebg, and welcome to Kunena.
I refer you to the guidelines about posting questions in the support category:
There's no harm in asking for this information and I'll do my best to help you. I merely wanted to point out to you (and to others who may be in your situation) the risks that you may run ... even though your ideas are very good ones.
Speaking only for myself, I would like to see a future version of Kunena allow users the means to customise emails without having to make changes to the PHP source code ... but I think that might be a long time before this can be easily accomplished.
I refer you to the guidelines about posting questions in the support category:
I will try to find the information that might help you change the way that Kunena "routinely" produces email and post it for you. Please be aware that any changes that you make to the standard behaviour will not necessarily be retained if (and when) you upgrade from one version of Kunena to the next and that our ability to help you will be restricted when you make such changes....
Do not use this category:
▪ to request a change to the standard behaviour of Kunena.

I think the code that generates the email is contain in the file ../components/kunena/lib/kunena.posting.class.php. I could be wrong.
The code that seems to generate emails for subscribers seems to be located at around lines 924-1019 (the reference may be different in your version of Kunena), namely:
From this we can see that some of the information is obtained by using PHP variables contained in the language files (for example, COM_KUNENA_GEN_MESSAGE). See
Where is the language file?
for further information.
Therefore, the solution is to change the source code (that I have shown you above) and to replace the file ../components/kunena/lib/kunena.posting.class.php with your changes together with any changes that you need to make to the language file(s). I've only shown you the general principles; if you do not feel "qualified" to make these changes on your own, I'm sure that (for a modest fee) someone can make them for you ... with the caveats that the changes may need to be reapplied in a selective manner when you upgrade. I hope this information helps.

Code:

$LastPostUrl = $uri->toString ( array ('scheme', 'host', 'port' ) ) . CKunenaLink::GetMessageURL($this->get ( 'id' ), $this->get ( 'catid' ), 0, false);
}
$once = false;
if ($mailsubs) {
