I'm sure this has done wonders for the utility of the mailing list archives... If you really had to do this, it would have been a much better idea to request that the mailer for Bugzilla changes was turned off while you did it. Who knows how many poor individuals have been spammed with off-list notifications just because they were kind enough to submit bug reports? Worse is the fact that these changes do nothing to solve the problem going forward. Most people will still submit bug reports without the component in the subject. The real solution would be to modify the template used for sending out the messages in the first place, so that the component name is included. Of course, if we do this now, the component name would be included in the subject twice... -- Martin Cooper > > Emmanuel Bourg > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
