Sylvain,

Thanks for the pointer to the modified script. If I'm reading it
correctly, I think that the MH-E developers would be happy (the log
message and unified diffs for every file in the check-in combined within
a single message) with a loginfo entry of:

  ^emacs/lisp/mh-e /bin/log_accum -T emacs -C -m mh-e-devel@lists.sourceforge.net -m emacs-commit@gnu.org -D -u -r "" -s %{sVv}

However, if you're correct in that your spam filter will deny this, then
it should be changed to:

  ^emacs/lisp/mh-e /bin/log_accum -T emacs -C -m mh-e-commit@gnu.org -D -u -r "" -s %{sVv}

and an mh-e-commit alias on fencepost should be created that contains
mh-e-devel@lists.sourceforge.net and emacs-commit@gnu.org.

Finally, if the emacs-commit community does not like getting the MH-E
diffs (unified ones at that) in the same message as the log, then
emacs-commit should be removed from the mailing list and interested
individuals should subscribe (assuming that the mailing list is set up
with mailman and rather than in /etc/aliases).

Can you makes these changes for me please? If so, please let me know
when I can test this. Thanks!
