Re: [PATCH v3] send-email: recognize absolute path on Windows

Shouldn't the latter also be anchored at the beginning of the string
with a leading "^"?

We already "use File::Spec qw(something else)" at the beginning, no?
Why not throw file_name_is_absolute into that qw() instead?

Ahh, OK, if you did so, you won't have any place to hook the "only
on msys do this" trick into.

It somehow feels somewhat confusing that we define a sub with the
same name as the system one, while not overriding it entirely but
delegate back to the system one.  I am debating myself if it is more
obvious if it is done this way:

        use File::Spec::Functions qw(file_name_is_absolute);
        if ($^O eq 'msys') {
                sub file_name_is_absolute {
                        return $_[0] =~ /^\// || $_[0] =~ /^[A-Z]:/i;
                }
        }

In this case, we end up requiring that module even when we end up
using it, no?

Also somebody earlier mentioned that we would be redefining, which
has a different kind of ugliness, so I'd agree with the code structure
of what you sent out (which has been queued on 'pu').

My earlier question "don't we want to make sure 'C:' is at the
betginning of the string?" still stands, though.  I do not think I
futzed with your regexp in the version I queued on 'pu'.

Thanks.
