Yikes!  I'm going to have to rework my loginfo strategy now :-( .  The 
docs have always said that -- is this new to 2.5.01.*?  I have mine set 
up to progressively get more general, so the correct group gets the 
correct messages, but if this isn't working in order and stopping at the 
first then it's going to get hairy.

I have something like this right now:

^CVSROOT cvsmailer ... to me
^project1/module_foo cvsmailer ... to proj1 team + foo developer
^project1 cvsmailer ... to proj1 team

Sounds like I should really have something like this then, is this 
correct for the same results??

^CVSROOT cvsmailer ... to me
^project1/module_foo cvsmailer ... to foo developer
^project1 cvsmailer ... to proj1 team

I'm not sure cvsmailer is set up for that either, since it uses the CVS 
pid to keep track of which mail is which and triggering mult lines might 
cause a problem.

Tony -- Please confirm this is the way it is working now, because it is 
a significant change from before.

Bo -- Will this work with cvsmailer like this?
