Nicolas and my proposed change is not wrong as only previously archived bugs can be unarchived. That's why it's not wrong to write: "Archives a bug that was previously unarchived". Archiving an already archived bug (without a prior unarchive) is just a no-op, it's not wrong but makes just no sense. I assume the current sentence "Archives a bug that was previously archived" confuses many readers ... Jens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
