This thread raises a good point. The introductory message of the test
report should probably be customized for each grade ("pass", "fail",
"unknown", "na") to better explain it.
Likewise, it's probably a good idea to mention that if an author is
receiving it by email, that the tester chose to copy the test report
to the module author.
I'll add those to the TODO list for CPAN::Reporter.

P.S. the known bug in the other thread will be fixed in the next release.

CPAN::Reporter treats having no tests as being unknown.
o "unknown" -- no test files could be found (either t/*.t or test.pl)
or a result could not be determined from test output
For my part I have CPAN::Reporter to CC the author on anything but a pass.
I'll change that to only CC the author on a fail.
