So one should think of the line labeled "Tests failed:" as a line that
really contains "Actions taken:"
It can be thought of as either.  Actions are only taken when a test fails, 
and that line lists all the tests that failed, so it can be thought of in 
either way.

The weight line also includes tests that do *not* fail, when they alter the 
weight (the test names beginning with "n", such as "nIPNOTINMX").

Hi Scott:

Okay - that's fair enough.

really contains "Actions taken:"

Should the "Tests Failed" summary line be "complete", e.g., should it
replace every single "Failed" line that appears in the HIGH log mode?  This
way, log analyzers can simply parse the Tests Failed summary and learn about
every test AND every action?
Correct.

If so, I believe there may be one issue.  My Tests Failed line don't seem to
itemize ANY negative test results, not even word filters.  Could it be, that
your Tests Failed is using the HIDETESTS definitions to suppress
information?
The one that shows the negative weights (the one that ends with "Total 
weight = ") appears at LOGLEVEL MID and higher, and is separate from the 
new one (that starts with "Tests failed").  The new one replaces the 
LOGLEVEL LOW log file entries, and therefore will only record the tests 
that would have generated a log file entry.  This is appropriate as the 
negative weights affect the total weight of the E-mail ("Total weight =" 
line), but do not affect the actions that are taken ("Tests failed" line).

Note that the HIDETESTS option does not affect what is shown in either line.

I believe that the LOG FILE should NOT process the HIDETESTS and should be
complete.  HIDETESTS should only be applied against information that is
shown "publicly" (e.g., in headers, in bounce/warn messages, and the like).
