 > With the proposed patch, if I've somehow messed up my filesystem and PHP
 can't write to it and two separate plugins update separately within three
 days, it looks like that will still result in multiple emails within a
 three day period. Is that right?

 If plugin A fails during attempt 1, and then plugin A & B fails during
 attempt 2 say 12 hours later, then an email needs to be sent to notify the
 site owner of plugin B failing. So I chose to just include all failure
 information in that second email. But, if 12 hours later, only plugin A &
 B fail again (no other failures or successful updates), then no email will
 be sent.

 If the next day, another plugin successfully updates and requires an
 email, then A&B will be included in that email.
