I just got this lengthy commit mail. I only cited two commit messages
as an example, but there were a lot of similar messages.

As this happens quite frequently, I'd like to ask, if the commit
messages
can be sent in a different format. Other groups like the lesstif-commits
or freebsd-commits use a different format. 

The advantage would be less traffic, and you'd actually see other
messages
that otherwise might get lost :-)

So, what do you think about this?
