Sadly no. That's precisely why I was pushing debbugs so hard earlier. The weakest of them will send a content-free email saying *something* happened to your issue and you have to click a link to find out what. Bugzilla is one step above that: it includes the latest comment though it doesn't thread comments and it can't handle replies. RT is intended to be email based but it requires a fair amount of work to get the transparent behaviour you want. Generally they make you click a link the email and fill in your comments in a text widget in a browser. That might be acceptable (not to me personally but...) when you're talking about requests made in some structured environment where requests are supposed to go through specific workflow. It'll never fly if you want it to track all the development discussions. I don't see old school unix hackers used to discussing things in email switching over to some web based interface to replace development mailing lists. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
