But he did.  He said:  "Try changing the message text in testsmtp.rex
to 'Error: Something here.' The email arrives, but there is no message
text in it."

testsmtp.rex is one of the example programs in the incubator.  Doing
what he suggested works for me.

It works for me now.   It worked for me when he first opened up the
bug.  It worked for me when I revisited the bug at a later date and
asked him for a test case showing what he was talking about.  It
worked for when I went through the bug list trying to fix anything I
could for the 4.1.2 beta.

Right.  You brought it up here again.  I explained why I closed it.
You brought up several things you think are bugs.  I said you should
open up bugs for them.  I think that is the exact definition of a
discussion.

I don't think that's a good interpretation of the discussion.  ;-)
The interpretation is "in addition to", not "instead of."  I didn't
say you shouldn't have discussed this here.

Most of the time it's reasonable to do both.
