#57 improve mailing

[Anonymous]

If you write comments to several lines, for every
comment Codestriker will send an email.
If you use Codestriker in an enviroment with lots of
projects and developers the count of emails will be a pain.
If the various comments to one topic from one developer
were send in one email the situation would ease up.

Hello,

Is this problem resolved. I just started using codestriker v1.9.6 and was looking for a place to post this 'feature' or way out to avoid mails being sent out for each code review comment made!
If you can point me to the way out, I can attempt to make the code changes.

Thanks
Hkumar

If you just want to turn off emails that get sent per comment for all users, that is easy, just edit lib/TopicListeners/Email.pm, and modify comment_create() to just return ''.

The other thing to remember, is the emails are threaded by topic, so if your mail client suports threads, all topics emails belong to the same thread will be grouped in the one thread.

To handle this properly long term, I'm planning on finally introducing the notion of a user into the system, and user preferences, so some users can decide what email notifications they want to receive.
