I worry that this subject line will be overlooked by the people we need to reach. Does it make sense, when quoting regression reports, to start a new thread or at least a new subject?
Sorry, but I can't figure out what you mean by this.
People often discuss issues with the health of Boost by replying to the automated regression reports, without changing the subject line. I'm sure that some people often skip automated regression reports on this list --- I know I often do, since if I have problems in my libraries, a report comes directly to my mailbox --- and it's easy to mistake these replies --- many of which *are* of interest to me --- for automated reports. Besides that, the replies almost always could be more specific in their subject lines so as to help everyone who has to process the huge waterfall of communications here decide whether they are relevant or not. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
