-1 on that.
It's easier to search for modified CVS files when the files
appears in the subject. Your mail client doesn't need to do a
full text/attach of the whohle mails, only the subject.
For the last comment: Fix your mail client (I mean, really).
However, if php-doc guys wan't to handle it different, it's ok
for me but I don't want to loose this information on php-cvs
commits.

ps: another thing would be: just don't commit 100 files at one ;)
