--- Begin Message ---Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-106 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch When cron sends email, it includes the hostname in the subject. Except, it abbreviates it to the part before the first ".". That seems kind of pointless for me except as a matter of overzealous brevity. Moreover, I have systems in different domains with the same first part of the hostname. So I would like cron to report the whole thing. This isn't a big deal as I can easily distinguish the mails by their email addresses, but it's nice for the subject to be clear. Anyway, up to you. I'm appending a patch. Nobody else was using the function first_word, so I removed it.
