DM: I also vote against this change. I personally find it easiest to
just skim and delete rather than needing to access this information
through a different channel. It also seems that the problem was more
about bug reporting protocol / best practice not being followed rather
than the resulting deluge on this list. I remember awhile back there
was one user (perhaps newer?) who had submitted one or more bugs and
they felt pretty strongly that the bug mails coming to this list were
an unwelcome redundancy, but I don't remember hearing anyone else
express an issue with it here. I do understand, though, that this type
of thing can try the patience of some, and your proposed alternative
seems workable although it does require non-zero effort. ;) Thanks to
you and other developers for all your work on Claws and for the amount
of patience you do have with all the rest of us. :) Cheers, ---Dustin
