So no need for inflation of the To/Cc > addresses (which I always saw as rather pointless). There's a web interface as well. Currently, it's not widely advertized, but in most bug-tracking systems I know, it's very common for end-users to search the bug-tracker (via the web) before posting a new bug. So if they find a related bug, they'll probably contribute to it, although they did not receive it. Stefan
