I guess you didn't notice that just above this code is a clause that says 'if forever' which implements -F/--forever by making tests into a generator that never runs out...

Hmm. Looking at the format of this message as it came back to me, I can see that the change to the Reply-To for checkins breaks my email filtering. Previously I could catch replies to my checkins by looking for my committer id in the 'To' field, and I would put those in a special folder, and so I would see right away that I had a message. Now they just wind up in the general python-dev and python-checkins folders, which I do not necessarily read every day. So this change will actually slow down my noticing replies.
I can't see any reliable identifying characteristic of the message which I could use to move it into the 'alert' folder. Checking the message body for 'r.david.murray python-checkins@python-org' will work most of the time, if people's email clients follow the normal quoting conventions and the reply header is left in. But it isn't going to be 100% reliable.
Would it be possible to include the committer id in the 'realname' field on the To address? (Or on the CC address).
