Re: need help: some words is not easy to understand in /Bugs/server-request

Hi,

i too read on
  https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-request
  "The Subject of the message is ignored, except for generating the Subject
   of the reply."

This is indeed a riddling statement.
Last time i submitted a bug it had the subject:

  live-wrapper: debian-live-9.4.0-amd64-xfce.iso image file is larger than its isosize

which i did not repeat in the message body. The body began with these
pseudo-headers:

  Source: live-wrapper
  Version: which made debian-live-9.4.0-amd64-xfce.iso, possibly newer than 0.7
  Severity: normal

Nevertheless
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=898995
showed up with the message subject as headline.

Further it was forwarded to debian-live mailing list with subject:
  Bug#898995: live-wrapper: debian-live-9.4.0-amd64-xfce.iso image file is larger than its isosize

So i am puzzled too by the statement in question.
(And i doubt that <owner@bugs.debian.org> is the right place to ask for
 clarification ...)


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
