Hmmm... Provided you give aliases for the folks you add to the passwd
file, you might be able to do something like this:

^mymodule Mail -s %s myalias,$CVS_USER

It may be that you will want to write a script that looks up the real
e-mail address given the CVS-specific username provided...
 
        Good luck,
