This has been brought up in #577564 as well. The subject is a little misleading since, at the time, I was under the impression mailx provided the functionality we needed while mail didn't. > I'm not sure which package is at fault here. Any suggestions? This is done to add extra headers to the mail being sent. The User-Agent header is always added and when --no-ack is specified the X-Debbugs-No-Ack header is also added. Since heirloom-mailx (and any mailx following the POSIX spec) doesn't have a way to specify extra headers, I've been considering changing this. X-Debbugs-No-Ack can be set as a pseudo-header and the User-Agent header was only added in response to #493884. While the User-Agent header is useful, I could see backing out this change so bts doesn't require the non-standard -a flag. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <james...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
