  No problem, I'm glad to see folks actively working on maintainance. :-)

  Ok, I notified the Gnash team about this future change.

  I thought he said he sent it to you, so maybe we're all are confused.

  This would be a huge problem for us. :-(

  Too many of the Gnash team don't have working outgoing email setups 
on their dev machines, so they don't want to use a client side solution. 
I guess if we have to everyone could fix their outgoing email sysadmin 
issues to do this, but a server side email notification would be nice.

  I do have my systems all setup for outgoing email, but I get errors 
from the bzr email add-on about "-a not supported", so it doesn't work 
for me at all either. Course this isn't your problem...
