Description Steven Green 2006-04-26 12:55:21 UTC

sys-app/portage/ version 2.1_pre9-r4

In make.conf.example it includes this line (from cnf/make.conf)
#PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILSUBJECT="package ${PACKAGE} merged on ${HOST} with notice"

Simply uncommenting this line does not work because the $ need escaping with \ as is done in make.globals otherwise you end up with subjects such as "package  merged on  with notice".  Either this line should include \$ or there should be a note to that effect in the description beforehand where it explains about the ${PACKAGE} and ${HOST} keywords.
