However, adding a reminder to the *footer* of the email message seems a bit pointless to me since most users won't read this far down especially if the diff report is anything but trivial in size. Could we not have a project setting somehow that prevents replies to these emails (if an admin so chooses)? As they stand at the moment, of course, we add codesite-noreply as a member of a Google Group so replying to such an email replies to the group. However, a different mechanism could work better perhaps. Say, for example, the Google Code site digs out the members of the Google Group and sends the email direct to them from codesite-noreply. Replying to these would then result in a bounce-back. Just an idea. :-) :Darren. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- :Darren :Pearce ---------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Shop & Donate: http://buy.at/campuskids *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [email protected] Postdoctoral Researcher London Knowledge Lab, University of London ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [email protected] Visiting Research Fellow Informatics, University of Sussex http://www.informatics.sussex.ac.uk/users/darrenp/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [email protected] http://www.linkedin.com/in/darrenpearce ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hosting at Google Code" group.
