bug#1199: acknowledged by developer (control message for bug 1199)

[Drew Adams]

I received two mails just now indicating this bug closure (likewise, for several
other bugs): the one below and another with subject "[Emacs-bug-tracker]
Processed: control message for bug 1199".

Neither mail gave a reason for the bug closure.
In fact, neither message said anything useful from the person who closed the
bug.  The one below at least has a link to the actual reply/explanation.

This information used to be available directly in the mail the filer receives,
not just in a page on the bug-tracker web site.  Getting a link to the bug
thread is a plus, but it doesn't outweigh the minus of removing this info from
the message itself.  Why make users switch from reading mail to using a web
browser, just to see the closure explanation?
