You are getting this because I picked one of your outstanding reports to 
test the bug submission process. I didn't realise that it would result 
in an auto-reply to you, next time I will forward an email from my own 
address rather than resending an existing report with original headers 
intact.

Obviously there are problems to be ironed out.

I think we're going to have to put up with some breakage of this ideal 
while we make the transition to the new bug reporting system. Once the 
new system is up and running, the prefixes on the subject line should be 
consistent once the bug has hit the system. If we impose requirements 
like "no changing the subject line" on bug reporting tools, we are going 
to end up with a bug tracker that is basically an unsorted mailing list 
archive that someone needs to go in and fix up by hand.
