100% is a bit strong and sounds a bit discouraging :).    As long as you
can list the detailed steps reproduce the problem, then its worth putting
in fogbugz.  However fogbugz has a lot of old issues and sometimes a new
issue is like a lost tree in the forrest.   Its generally beneficial if you
socialise it on the mail list as well.

A good workflow is:
1. Search fogbugz for similar issues.
2. Ask on the mail list if its a known issue, or if you should create a new
one. List your steps to reproduce and ideally a solution.
3. Log a new issue on fogbugz, copying the mail list discussion there.
Paste the link back to the mail list thread.

So in general:
* the mail list has a broader audience and gets a better triage
* fogbugz tracks history to ensure it doesn't get lost - and nothing
happens except what goes through the tracker.  (btw, set Project=Launcher)
