I'm confused. Here's what I understand from the above: Tore says that -m'Happy Sponsor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' will cause bugs to be tagged fixed instead of closed. Andreas says that -m'Happy Sponsor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' will cause bugs to be closed instead of tagged fixed. Would the real -m'Happy Sponsor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' please stand up?
