Clear message on SNMP Traps

When an SNMP trap arrives we can get emails based on the Trap getting triggered but we cannot get email notifications when the corresponding clear trap arrives. This makes parsing events difficult when looking for the "up" linked to a "down" event. All we are able to see is a list of down events.

    Eric, when Trap Events were updated in NMS 6.5 to bind trap trigger and clear into a single event it was the intent for clear traps to be sent as emails too so that lifecycle of a trap event could be complete. This was the case for the trigger and clear for webhooks, and I expect the same for email. My best guess is that this part of the use case wasn't properly evaluated at that time.

    I've informed Support that a defect should be filed for this issue.
