That's confusing since that URL points to this text: Reply sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: You have taken responsibility. _Full_text_ and rfc822 format available. Ah well. Eureka, two lines before that URL it says: % wget -o /dev/null --output-document=- "http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=394813"; | html2text -ascii -nobs | grep -in -A 1 -m 1 "reopened" 118:Bug reopened, originator set to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Request was from "A.

It seems like a useful message that belongs in the bug log. If that's the only problem, then perhaps this bug should be changed to to a 'wishlist' bug and retitled "Improvement: add reopen email control message to BTS log". > > ...2) When a bug is reopened, the BTS would the user a clear > > acknowledgement, -- prior to and separate from any closing > > message. > > This is done.

Any scratch pad facilities on the BTS, like Usenet's 'alt.test'? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
