definitely.  it's how gnats is designed to work.  gnats should be set up to 
listen on a given email address (usually "bugs").  emails received at that 
address which have a PR number correctly formatted in the Subject: header will 
be appended to the relevant PR.

most of the mail that gnats sends out has a reply-to address that points to 
gnats.  so replying directly to a PR will get your message appended.  also, if 
you Cc the gnats address in your mail to the submitter, and format the subject 
properly, the message will be appended.

the gnats docs should cover this, though it's probably in the texinfo docs, 
rather than the manpages.
