One thing I've been a bit mystified by is the effect of punctuation on
the email subjects. I do compose my commit messages with some thought
to what the subject will look like, but I got burnt recently here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2006-03/msg00056.php
where the subject got truncated at a period. It seems to sometimes
truncate at punctuation and sometimes not --- there are plenty of other
examples where periods don't end the subject. Does anyone know the
exact rules the message-bot is using?
