#29 cvs-syncmail sends mail to version numbers

[Enver Haase]

Hello,

I have a line like

tools/ /usr/bin/syncmail -S [Company-CVS] --mailhost
mail.hacenet %{sVv} developers@company.com

in my loginfo.

syncmail sends mail to:
1.6 1.7 developers@company.com

I changed

specs = args[0].split()
del args[0]
# The remaining args should be the email addresses

to

specs = args[0].split()
del args[0]

del args[0]
del args[0]

# The remaining args should be the email addresses

And now it works fine.

You just need to enclose the %{sVv} in quotes:

"%{sVv}"

For our syncmail version (October 2001) we had to use
"%p %s,%V,%v" instead of %{sVv} to fix the issue.
