Not easily (at least, not without making the integration much tighter.) Basically, it should be possible to subscribe to any bug for which you can currently describe a limit; the full set of these is so large that it would be wasteful to generate all of the mails for them, so the BTS would need to know which limits people actually cared about, and only generate the mails for them. [That part isn't too hard, but properly managing the bounces etc. needs to be done... (and frankly, almost every mail that the BTS generated should probably go through this mechanism with proper bounce processing, etc.x] Don Armstrong -- We want 6. 6 is the 1. -- "The Prisoner (2009 Miniseries)" _Checkmate_ http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
