Please find enclose a stupid mail I had when trying to submit a bug. It complains about missing headers, which happen to be actually included in the mail returned afterwards..
Words fail me. I really think that this mail-based-with-additional-headers bug reporting system is a bad idea. I have not found a simple html form to feed with my report. -- Fabien Coelho ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ http://www.cri.ensmp.fr/~coelho ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2002 03:18:01 -0600 (CST) From: Gnumatic bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Fabien COELHO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Message with no Package: tag cannot be processed!

I could not install gnucash-1.6.5 because of missing libraries for which I had no rpms. When importing QIF files from my bank, I had to fix manually syntactic problems in the file generated by the bank. I think the QIF parser could pretty easily handles these 'extensions'. I wrote a perl to handle the two first problems. 1/ 2 digit year in date format D05/02/02 instead of D05/02'2002 2/ plus sign in total amount format T+10,000,000.00 instead of T10,000,000.00 3/ account choice not user friendly When importing a QIF file, the system asks for the destination account. Fine. You have to type the full name if it is a subaccount. I would prefer a Choice box where one can select an existing account, or the ability to create a new one. Thanks in advance for the potential future fixes. -- Fabien. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
