X Zerothly, I have prefixed all of the non-command lines in this email
X with an X to avoid Malone 34339. (My first attempt only prefixed
X the quotes from earlier LP mails, but the forbidden word `status'
X happened to wordwrap to the beginning of one of the lines in my list
X of bullet points at the bottom.)
X
X Firstly, I think that 29209 and 31586 are the same problem.
X
X Secondly, I have another nice example of a broken behaviour:

X for each of the four bugs I was addressing.
X
X This is completely wrong in almost every possible respect ! Note how
X the mail that the subscribers of 30603 get is so garbled they can't
X see where else the mail went, nor the originally quoted email address
X of the person who sent it.

X
X _That_ would be how it would have looked if it was a mailing list.
X
X Note:
X
X 1. A complete set of Resent-* headers is mandatory.
X 2. Nearly all of the original headers are completley preserved.
X In particular, not-understood headers must be preserved, and
X Received fields must be preserved.
X 3. Malone should try to send as few separate messages as possible and
X try to send the same mail to several people wherever possible; this
X makes things work better when people reply to these emails.
X 4. An appropriate Reply-To has been added.
X 5. Some X-Malone-* headers have been added to make end-user filtering
X possible.
X 6. The text inserted into the body by Malone has been marked the same
X way a human list moderator would mark their comments, if they
X inserted any. A reasonable alternative would be to send two
X separate mails as at present, but in that case the copy with the
X comment should contain _only_ the comment and not `Public bug
X report changed:' or `Comment:' or anything. In that case the
X status change email should NOT have a From: naming the user making
X the change. Cf debbugs and bugzilla status change mails.
X 6. An X-Loop header has been added. Any existing X-Loop headers
X should be retained (and checked that none of them are
X <email address hidden>).
X 7. Note that Resent-CC is available as well as Resent-To. The Malone
X designers should consider where a CC is more appropriate (there is
X a semantic difference to the two and many email programs and
X filtering systems treat them differently in subtle ways).
X 8. The current Message-IDs on the synthetic emails, such as
X Message-Id: <20060310163007.30701.37383.launchpad@<email address hidden>>
X are syntactically invalid !
X
X Ian.
