It is a normal mail thread, actually. You received the acknowledgement, which is outside the thread. Maintainers and everyone else following the thread just receive a normal method with bug# prepended to the subject. > I don't see why.

And this is the case as well. bugnum@btssystem is the place where you mail followups, and anyone who has elected to receive followups gets them as well. What you got (and anyone else who sends mail to the system without headers to say that you don't want them gets) is an acknowledgement that your followup was received. [If you don't want them, add an X-Debbugs-No-Ack: header or psuedoheader.] Don Armstrong -- It was said that life was cheap in Ankh-Morpork. This was, of course, completely wrong.
