Have you ever attended a conference and looked over the shoulder of the person in front of you ? There are 3 types of interfaces you see: - code - slides - mails The last thing people will look at during a conference definitely is a painfully depressive bugtracker interface. However they will see bug reports in their mailbox as they happen to read emails from their boss or customers. > Here's yet another issue, how would you send a follow up if you don't > know the reference ("References" email field)? Instead of a follow up > it'll end up being a new unrelated email. You don't have such a problem with email. It only happens when you try to respond via e-mail to stuff you find in a browser. Willy
