I've been testing Mantis (http://www.mantisbt.org/); not the most featureful bug tracker out there, but *dead* easy to use and setup (even on Windows, though that's not a requirement per se). It doesn't do e-mail, but as it is a MySQL backend and a few PHP scripts, I don't think would be hard to do an Emacs gateway via e-mail (and perhaps URL). You can take a look at http://bugs.mantisbt.org/. The CVSNT project is using Mantisbt and their bug database can be accessed at http://www.cvsnt.org/mantis/login_page.php (though registration is needed on this one). Juanma
