One thing I've been a bit mystified by is the effect of punctuation on the email subjects. I do compose my commit messages with some thought to what the subject will look like, but I got burnt recently here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2006-03/msg00056.php where the subject got truncated at a period. It seems to sometimes truncate at punctuation and sometimes not --- there are plenty of other examples where periods don't end the subject. Does anyone know the exact rules the message-bot is using? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
