Yes.  Replying to the list is enough.  The tracker follows the list
and notes things with a netlabs tag.

Ok, I've added a Mail-Followup-To: for new tickets to follow up to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - I'm not convinced this is totally the right
answer, but we can try it and see what happens.  There may be some
tweaks that still need to be done.

I'd rather not - some mailers truncate subject lines.
