Logcheck devel - Jan 2010 - Bug#566197: Header should use "such mail" not "such mails"

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.3.5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu lucid ubuntu-patch

        Hi

 Michael Lustfield reported in Ubuntu bug
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/logcheck/+bug/398703 that the
 header of logcheck is spelt incorrectly:
    "This email is sent by logcheck. If you no longer wish to receive
    such mails, you can either deinstall the logcheck package or modify
    its configuration file (/etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf)."

    The word "mails" should be "mail". Mail is very commonly
pluralized
    when it should not be. This is one of those cases.

    If you would like context, consider these sentences.
    I didn't receive my mails from the post office yet.
    I sent you the mails yesterday.

    These are the exact same situation. If you're a native English
    speaker, I would hope these make everything clear.

    BTW, This is a pretty nice tool. If it weren't great, I wouldn't
    bother suggesting the improvement.

 Would you mind changing debian/header.txt as he proposes?

   Thanks,
