Wow, it's great to see all the interest. Well, here's a detailed list of
what I've added to our system:
- add @cc support
- support the initialcclist table
- auto-scans subject line for "Subject: [<product>] ..." to
determine the product. I'll probably extend this to
[<product>;<component>].
- if not specified, always default to the first component/version found
- after submitting (or appending), auto-emails to the reporter, qa, cc,
owner, etc.
- procmail hacks to filter out "on-vacation" messages
- when appending
- auto-strip the Subject text if it's redundant (similar to the bug's
summary text)
- auto-update the delta_ts field
BTW, I like the ability for the tool to just trust the "From:" line and not
verify it's from the original owner. Our system is only for internal use,
hence it's "safe". It's nice to append emails sent from other folks to a
bug, yet have it appear it was posted by that person. Granted, this
shouldn't be the default behavior, but I'd still want this supported.
As for the ability to close/modify bugs via email/command-line, it would be
nice but not a necessity for us.
Thanks,
Albert
