Maybe you are suffering from the same problem as me. The BTS does in
fact only send one mail which includes the original bug report...
...however, the BTS mails include the "From a@b.c" line without quoting
the "From" with ">". My uni's mail setup causes the message to be
written to an mbox without any changes (but with an appropriate
Content-Length). However, when I fetch mail, the POP3 daemon doesn't
care about the Content-Length and splits the message into two. :-[
Couldn't the BTS *please* be changed to precede the "From" with ">"? I
realize the problem is on my end, but it doesn't look like they'll fix
it anytime soon! :-/
Cheers,
Richard
