Hopefully. I guess I'm just sharing your frustration. As you've been saying there were lots of advocates for bugzilla that indicated a willingness to help, but that hasn't happened (at least so far). Along with that, in that most recent round of bugzilla advocacy, one of the advertised benefits was email access, but it hasn't happened. I've used at least three other bug/trouble ticket tracking systems that had at least some functions available via email and they've been much nicer to work with because of it. Anyway, since Marc committed that small patch embedded in my last message, well under an hour after I sent it, it seems this list is a very efficient email interface to the XFree86 patch submission system ;^) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
