What about followups? The way I've settled on doing things is to send only to the bugs address initially, but then reply to both bugs and the list for any followup correspondence. I know that replying to just the bugs address isn't enough because it only forwards the initial message to the list. Is replying to just the list enough? (Does the bug tracker see list messages and grab out things with a netlabs tag?) If it is enough to just reply to the list, could the bug tracker add a Mail-Followup-To: header to reflect that? (See any of Simon Cozen's messages for an example.) Mutt, at least, will respect that header when you do a group reply. And maybe this is just me, but could the [netlabs ...] tag be placed at the end of the subject line instead of the beginning? Unrelated note for Jeff G: speaking of weird bounces, I can't seem to get any mail to you. For example, I sent a message warning that you hadn't cvs added hash.c and hash.h, and I'm pretty sure you never got it. A week or two ago, I got a bounce message back for another email, but I deleted it. I'll probably get more eventually. I'll put them up at http://foxglove.dnsalias.org/~sfink/jeffg when they show up, unless you have another email address I can forward them to?
