Re: Bugzilla (Mutt Next Generation)



Hello Christoph,

    Basic and single whitelisting is not efficient IMHO. I remember
receiving spam by *you*, and recently received (real) bounces from
trithemius, for viruses I sent.

    I vote for debbugs also.

    Gnats and Bugzilla are web-based which I dislike, and Bugzilla is
not really friendly to the occasional bug-hunter. Not as friendly as
Debbugs. Another web+mail BTS I tried (was it RT?) was ugly on the mail
side: Broken threads, rewritten restructured mails, munged titles,
impersonified senders... Beuark!

    Debbugs has only 2 problems: Spam sensibility, and ugly
encapsulation of mails to "-done" (happily circumventable by "close"
control directive).


    Whatever: I'm more than happy to see the movement again. Thank you
ALL for your efforts, big or little, past or future. Glop glop. :-))


Bye!    Alain.
