I would add one more whish. Threads managed by bugzilla is painful to
follow: The reason is that it does not keep proper references. The
end
result is a "flat" thread where every reply gets paranted by the first
message, instead of the usual thread tree.
Yes, it goes into "Kenner mode" because (the last time I investigated
this,
very briefly) keeping track of the References header was a hard problem
for something that wasn't inherently an email client. I think this was
being worked on in the then-current development branch of bugzilla.
Um, I *do* track the references, and it outputs a References and
In-Reply-To header.
I'm not sure why your email client ignores it, mine threads them fine
now (as does Pine).
I have a question: with previous gntas, I could ask for retreiving a
set of bug reports (with gnat-query) which I can consult later
*off-line*.
Is there an equivalent thing with bugzilla? Last-time I tried
"query",
it only stores an url, whereas I was asking for "physical" copies of
the reports.
Not that I know of... Dan?
There is an interface that lets you request bug-reports by email, i
just never set it up.
