I meant to say: "when there is an "issue" with a nightly" (leave of has 
an error).  The idea is to reduce the number of emails sent.  If there 
is an error/warning/failed test in the nightly section, then CDash 
should send one email reminding the developer to check the nightly 
results.  That way if there is an error that breaks 50 builds, you do 
not get 50 emails.  People tend to ignore the emails when they are too 
frequent.   However, with continuous builds, if there is anything wrong, 
email should be sent out right away.  Also, CDash will only be sending 
emails when the errors/warnings/ test failures increase, and not just 
when they exist. Finally, you will be able to pick the groups that send 
email for a project.
