It does (I added this feature), but: a) It needs time (I think) to process the first message and update the bug index with the message-id, so if all messages arrive at the same instant, it doesn't work. b) I made the decision to require a subject starting with "Re:" for this to take effect, because sometimes people reply to an old message and change the subject with the intention of creating a new report. (I'm pretty sure I've said this before.) I'm feeling like I should admit defeat on this aspect, since it seems people just love messing around with the subject header. I also added something that makes [patch] equivalent to Tags:patch But it's never been an advertised convention for any Emacs mailing list AFAIK, and it makes me grumpy. :) I've always assumed it came from the linux kernel and is now the [in thing]. But let's not turn this into another BEGIN_SRC derail...
