[cvsnt] Notify mail - update

[Bo Berglund]

I have not used the built-in system for emails (obviously since I have
developed the CVSMailer program that handles all of this since years).

But I think that also in this case the people receiving notification
emails must be listed in the CVSROOT/users file.
This file keeps a map between login names and email addresses.
I would look there if I were you... 


Best regards,

Bo Berglund

Thanks.

Maybe i didn't explain myself too well. If user A set a watch on a file 
and user B does something (every kind of edit, unedit, lock, commit), if

i used the notify script user A gets an email warning that user B is 
doing something on that file. Otherwise, with notify_email user A gets 
an email only if user B does commit the file, not for other operations.
And this is the difference. Furthermore, i was asking if it was possible

to set user A as the receiver, since by using the [user] variable in the

template it's user B (the one who does the commit) who gets the email. 
By looking at the reference guide, there's no variable mentioning the 
watching user, user A.

I hope to have been clear.
