I think that the commands given on the script lines are actually not
passed "as is" to cmd.exe. Instead CVS itself seems to parse out the
data and in doing so it does not make use of the double quotes as
cmd.exe does.
End result is:
You cannot have extra spaces in either the command program itself or
in the arguments.
Maybe it will (or has) changed but when I coded my CVSMailer program I
found this out the hard way....
