SID-01526: WebNotify not working in news mode

I've been using WebNotify to notify myself of changes to all my webs for some time now - all fine.

Now I want to add a news mode to one web, to email myself a complete copy of the web periodically. To do this I added an entry to the WebNotify for that web:

• MattTovey: WebHome! (10)

Trouble is, when I call "tools/mailnotify -news", it still searches for changes, and only sends out a notification if something has changed in that web.

Only when I remove the other entry for myself ( * MattTovey), will "mailnotify -news" actually run in news mode.

I had a look around in the code, and was confused as to how the "-news" option is supposed to work, as anything prefixed with "-" seems to be added to an "exwebs" list, which appears to be webs that are excluded from notifications?

Is this a known problem?
