Indeed. Upon looking again at the old check-tans.pl code, it seems that
I misinterpreted the meaning of the "-g" option. It seems that, in the
old code, the meaning of "-g" was "use the email addressed specified by
-m instead of the addresses from the translator database". In the new
code "-g" means "instead of sending the mails, print them to the
console".
I think I will change it lke this:
(*) the "-m" option will not acceptany argument anymore, and will simply
determine whether or not mails are generated.
(*) add a new "-M <email>" option that allows you to to specify the email
address where the emails should be sent; this will override the
translator database.
(*) Keep the "-g" options as it is now: all mails are generated as
specified by the other options, but instead of sending them, they
will be dumped to the console.

These should be taken care of by the changes proposed above.

I think you misunderstand. The "-n" option on the command line is
matched against the entries in the translator database. You coudl set
up daily, weekly, and monthly cronjobs with -n1, -n2, and -n3, for
example.

Thansk! Fixed.
