Figuring out how to send mail from a program or script isn't straightforward. Generating a standardised report which the user can attach is more realistic. OTOH, a lot of the problems which affect GRASS as a whole would also affect any error-reporting tool. E.g. if the tool is written in Python, a broken Python installation would prevent the tool from working; likewise for a shell script needing a working MSys installation on Windows. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
