-----------------------------------

             Summary: The BufferingAppenderSkeleton LossyEvaluator sends  the discarded event not current buffer as documented
                 Key: LOG4NET-507
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-507
             Project: Log4net
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Appenders
    Affects Versions: 1.2.15
            Reporter: Gavan Smith
            Priority: Minor


I wanted to utilize a custom lossyEvaluator to send all buffered events using the smtpappender when the discarded event indicated all events in the buffer were recent.

A minor change to the documentation would resolve confusion without breaking those who rely on only sending the discarded event.  No good for my use case, I'll find another way.

If the current behavior is corrected, perhaps change the BufferingAppenderSkelton.cs (approx line 194 .. 198) LossyEvaluator documentation to:
		/// <para>
		/// The evaluator will be called for each event that is discarded from this 
		/// appender. If the evaluator triggers then the discarded event will immediately 
		/// be sent (see <see cref="M:SendBuffer(new LoggingEvent[] { discardedLoggingEvent })"/>).
		/// </para>
