Re: [Mantisbt-help] Notifications of public projects

[Gabriel B. <gab...@sd...>]

Claudio,

I believe that you have the best solution for the problem. Thank you for 
sharing, I was not aware of this problem, but I will include your line 
of code in my Mantis.
This will probably need to be created as a custom function or core 
function in the next release. So it can be customize via the 
configuration file. I am not a Mantis or PHP guru, so I will  hope that 
Victor  is watching this list too.

Thanks,
Gabriel
