Well, ideally there shouldn't, anyway. :)

Fair enough.
Another question that just occurred to me: Is there any way at present
to tell Bacula that I do not want media-change-related messages to
appear in end-of-job emails, but I still want to see them on the console
and get them mailed to me at the time when the media change is
requested? I've studied the documentation on the Messages resource, but
I can't see any way to accomplish this without adding code to implement
an "Include Media Events In End-Of-Job Report = yes/no" directive.
