I'm not sending mail about mismatched versions, it's just that my buildfile uses the 1.5 <mail> task in one of the targets (not called as part of my version check) and Ant1.4.1 throws up when confronted with the new <mail> task. I send the build results via email, as well as JUnit test results (JUnitReport) and a few other important things (build.xml, build.properties, etc.) I haven't implemented the mail listener solution yet as I'm just moving across to 1.5 now... > The other alternative would be to use the <mimemail> task.

I don't wait to get the deprecated message each time, and I like the neatness of the new 1.5 <mail> task. > Out of curiosity -- assuming this check is done before anything gets > run, what set of files would you have at that point to send anyway? Like I said, it's not that I'm trying to mail at that point, just that Ant1.4.1 doesn't support <fileset> in <mail>. Thanks for your feedback!
