Then bugzilla-daemon should autorespond telling them to not reply to it and post on the bug. There's no reason every single person needs to see this.

With > this warning, I can completely ignore those "retards" without feeling bad :) Uhh... I'd rather be emailed directly than to clog up a bug report with useless banter. And I'll often email a commenter directly if their comment and/or my reply is off-topic. Yet somehow I don't spend a lot of time window-licking or trying to wear my shoes as a hat. -- fonts / wxWindows / gcc-porting / treecleaners 9B81 6C9F E791 83BB 3AB3 5B2D E625 A073 8379 37E8 (0x837937E8) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
