I don't know, this is kind of a 'reportbug'ism (or possibly a 'bug'ism, I can't remember ...). I certainly know people who think that putting the package name in the subject is redundant and wastes space that could otherwise be used for a more informative subject line, so I'm hesitant to recommend it in the bug system's documentation. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
