Hi,
I'm adding a new project (http://www.squeaksource.com/Zippers.html) to SqueakSource, and some new options puzzle me.
What's the Reply-To address for? I know what they're for in emails, so I _guess_ that it's the Reply-To address in commit mails generated by the project?
Yes.
Second, the checkbox "Receive commit notifications by email" means that those subscribed to the project (one of Administrators, Developers, Guests) receive notifications whenever someone commits to the project? Is it possible to subscribe to a project without being an member of the project in some way?
No, the commit email is sent only to the addresses given in the project settings under "Send emails to:". Typically that would be a public mailing list that interested folks can subscribe to.
Ah. I'd have expected the list to set the Reply-To address itself. Thanks for clarifying! (Hm, OK, because if you _don't_ send a mail to a list, what _would_ the Reply-To header be? OK, I see the point of the field now.)
As a minor visual nit, when editing the Projects the "send emails to:" field takes up a fair bit of space. If you remove the two <br/> tags and the empty <h1></h1>, it takes up much less space and, more importantly, the Add and Cancel buttons end up not looking like they might belong to the "Reply-To Address" field.
