Package: debbugs
Severity: normal
The attached response came from ‘debbugs’ when I sent a message
<URL:https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=358195;msg=33>
that contains a command “summary -1 0”.
According to the documentation for that command:
The first non-pseudoheader/non-control paragraph of that message
is parsed and set as the outlook of the bug which is displayed on
the top of the bug report page.
[…] if a message number of 0 is given, the current message is used
(that is, the message which was sent to control@bugs.debian.org
which contains the outlook control command).
<URL:https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#summary>
I understand the documentation to imply that the referenced message
should have worked: It contained a <message number> value of “0”, and
the “first non-pseudoheader/non-control paragraph of that message” was
the summary text required.
The ‘debbugs’ server has evidently retrieved a completely different
text, some “Received” field from the message header. This fails to
meet the behaviour described in the documentation.
