Is there a problem with the automatic mailing of bug-thread messages, or is
there perhaps a problem with my mail server?
I sent two messages to this bug thread, and never received those mails from the
bug list. But they showed up on the archive site OK:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11506#15
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11506#17
Similarly, I received Stefan's reply to the first of these directly from him,
but I did not receive his message from the bug address.
If there is a mail problem at the Emacs BUGS end, is it perhaps only for the
<N>-done@debbugs.gnu.org address? If so, can that please be fixed? Whatever
discussion continues in a bug thread should be echoed to the bug mailing list,
no?
If not, I will no doubt have to manually remove "-done" from the cc address from
now on (or else add the address without "-done", in addition to "-done").
Users do not pay a lot of attention to the cc addresses when they hit `Reply
All'. This bug server automatically changes the address from
<N>@debbugs.gnu.org to <N>-done@debbugs.gnu.org, which is arguably not very user
friendly to begin with (changing recipient lists is not a great idea).
If we cannot figure out a better way to handle routing/classifying messages than
simply changing addresses, too bad. But can't we at least continue to echo the
discussion to <N>@debbugs.gnu.org (as well as cc or bcc it to
<N>-done@debbugs.gnu.org), so that readers of the thread receive the message?
The classification of a bug is not the same thing as the end of the discussion
of it.
