RE: X-GNATS-Notify replacement

[Dieperink Alwin]

Hello,

This solution works fine, but it is not exactly identical to version 3.x.
The Notify-List appears in the "To"-list and not in the "Cc"-list.

Suggestion:

Add new parameter to the mail-format entries in dbconfig called
"cc-addresses", so that the notified people see their name in the "Cc" field
of the mail instead of the "To" field.


#...
mail-format "initial-pr-notification" {
    from-address {
        "From:" | "From"
    }
    to-addresses {
        "Responsible"
        "Category[notify]"
    }
    cc-addresses {                # <---
        "Notify-List"
    }
    header {
          #...
    }
    body {
          #...
    }
}
#...

I was under the impression that one would create a notify-list field to
hold e-mail addresses and then ensure that it was added to the
to-addresses {} secion for the appropriate transition mail-format.
Something like the following:

#...
field "Notify-List" {
    description "A COMMA separated list of e-mail addresses to notify when
this PR changes."
    text
    query-default inexact-regexp
}
#...
entries "initial-pr-notification" {
    from-address {
        "From:" | "From"
    }
    to-addresses {
        "Responsible"
        "Category[notify]"
        "Notify-List"
    }
    header {
          #...
    }
    body {
          #...
    }
}
#...
mail-format "initial-pr-notification-pending" {
    #...
    to-addresses {
        #...
        "Notify-List"
    }
    #...
}
#...

        Enjoy!
