Yeah, I'm happy with it.  Thank you!

Though, a few more hints would be better to be put:
- alsa-devel ML needs the manual approval if posted from
  non-subscribers.  Subscribe to ML before posting, or be patient.

- A too long text is seen as a spam.  The alsa-info.sh output might be
  better compressed and attached to the mail.  (A long text can go out
  after the manual approval, though.)

- HTML mails are silently dropped as spam on alsa-devel ML.

Right, this has been dead, and I also wish it removed...
I thought I tried it but failed due to the edit right, too.
