After fiddling around with the mailer.py and mailer.conf files more, I
believe I figured out how this is suppose to work. =P Apparently, you
must set up a custom group with a for_paths directive/property/whatever
for the portion of the repository that you want monitored for changes.
My previous efforts was to have the general section to have for_paths
directive/property/whatever, which wasn't working.

Subject: Configuring Mailer.py to report based upon particular
files/dirs within repository

Good morning everyone,

I am looking to use the mailer.py contributed tool to send an email out
whenever a portion of a repository has changed, however I only want it
whenever /some/path has been changed and only the files within
/some/path to be added to the email. After reading the mailer.py
configuration file, I thought I could use the "for_paths" property,
however I am having no luck whatsoever. Am I barking up the right tree?
If not, then how could I achieve this?

Thank you,

A-
