IMO, emailing elogs to root should probably be the default. By all |

means let people turn it off, but I bet a lot of people don't realize |

This goes in all my make.conf files: |
| 16 |
PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error log" |
| 17 |
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save mail" |
| 18 |
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="a@×.com smtp.server.address" |
| 19 |
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILSUBJECT="package \${PACKAGE} merged on \${HOST} with notice" |
