That'd be cool. Cooler still would be an opt-in flag on bugster that allows developers within Sun to say, "I'm working on OpenSolaris, and I've given up my right to bug-tracking privacy," so that the external mail tool can just do the right thing. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
