Description

It's desirable that the mail notifier be made configurable so that the user can choose to have continuum deliver a notification even when the build state is not changed from the previous one (both success, or both failure, etc.). Also, if continuum determines that "The project was not built because all changes are unknown", it is desirable for the user to have an option of receiving a message indicate as such.

Thanks!

I failed to notice that there is a <alwaysSend> element in the applications.xml to specify whether I want to get a notification no matter what. I apologize.

alwaysSend is too restricted. It should be possible to be defined per notifier, for example for some emai address send just changes, for other send always.

the AlwaysSend should be configurable on a per project basis, we just moved to continuum from cruisecontrol, but miss this feature...

may be it makes more sense inside the GUI. If people have to dig in XML just like cruisecontrol and still cant get the same power per project the purpose of usability is affected.
