:)  Nice.  I do like the threading, it provides a nice consolidated
summary of the day's tree.

No, not necessary.  I don't want to add unnecessary work to your plate.
If the script modification put it in the email notification
automagically, it might be worth doing, but if a tree owner is already
looking at your -next tree, it's trivial to go one step further and look
at the merge commit (which is what I did in this case).

thanks, and sorry for the noise.
