Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: normal

I'm using the get_bug_log method of the SOAP interface to retrieve
single messages which are part of bug logs. I'm using it in the
implementation of a new "followup" command for the "bts" devscript. The
idea is to let the user followup on a given bug log, specifying the
message she would like to reply to.

Unfortunately, the current implementation [1] suffers of an usability
problem. The user can specify which message in a bug log she wants to
reply to, but there is no way in the current web rendering of bug logs
to identify a given message.

Can you please add an increasing numerical identifier so that we can
refer to specific messages? My proposal is to change snippets like the
following:

> Message received at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (full text, mbox):

into something like

> Message 4, received at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (full text, mbox):

Would it be possible?
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers.

PS in the current rendering, the hyperlink on "Message" above has indeed
an ID, but this is in a numbering scheme which is not the same returned
by get_bug_log ....
