I'm guessing:

-s is for subject and ${sVv} som magic to insert information from cvs.

So maybe something like -s '[CVS] %{sVv}' will do the trick?

Has a point. Could be fixed by forcing follow-ups on a cvs list to the
developer list. Mails that does not come from a cvs commit should not
occur on a cvs list anyway.

But I'm not having strong opinions on this subject.
