IIRC, both of them think that you should log into the web interface to send emails (which, in the case of Bugzilla, don't permit replies), rather than sending emails that show up in the web interface. But the web interface is, at least in RT, also seems to be pretty rudimentary. Suppose you have a thread with 40 emails in it. View that thread in Gmail. Now view it in RT. In RT, you will notice that there's no way to unexpand emails, and all of the data is loaded with the page, so you sit there for half a minute waiting for everything to load. There's also no suppression of duplicated or quoted meterial, as Gmail does. It's usable, I guess, but it's a long way from state-of-the-art. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
