Useful headers in Bugzilla mails [Fwd: Re: abrt Bugzilla summary]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So, maybe everyone else already knew this and I'm just the dumb monkey,
but in case not - ever been annoyed at how Bugzilla emails don't include
useful info like the name of the component, and the person whose action
generated the email?

Well it does - in headers, which I'd somehow never noticed before. And
Evolution and mutt at least (and probably other clients - looks like for
Thunderbird, you'd probably want this extension:
http://mnenhy.mozdev.org/) have features for displaying specific headers
that you want to see.

I just configured my Evo to show X-Bugzilla-Product,
X-Bugzilla-Component, and X-Bugzilla-Who, and I'm in heaven.

Mutt you pointed it out, evolution seems to also support it:
  Edit -> Preferences -> Mail Preferences -> Headers
Don't know about claws-mail but that's already more client than I
thought :)

Still feels hacky to me (and I would prefer the topic as proposed by
Kevin) but ok, that's one option.
