I have to make CVSMailer work in all cases and your's is a special one where people commit only small changes to a few files.... There is also another reson, CVSMailer does not get hold of the files themselves, only the names and revisions of the files are supplied by CVS. To make diffs requires CVSMailer to first go looking for two files for each committed file (the original revision and the new one) and then execute an external program to create the diff to include in the email. This process is in my opinion well outside teh scope of a messaging agent like CVSMailer. And it would slow down processing a lot...

Thanks for that reason, will try this out. -- Andreas Richter Web: http://www.selectline.de SelectLine Software GmbH Fon: +49 391 5555 080 Nachtweide 82c Fax: +49 391 5555 089 39124 Magdeburg GPG-KeyID: 0xE24D5758 _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
