BTW You can reach every submitter with <number>[EMAIL PROTECTED], and they get logged to the bug log, but not sent to anyone else (not even the maintainer). I'd say, if you're writing a short message like "Can you still reproduce this?", then don't send it to any BTS-related address but privately. If you find some interesting information in your conversation with the submitter, then feel free to CC: or send it separately to <number>@bugs.debian.org . -- enJoy -*/\*- spelled 'iosip', or simply 'joseph'
