Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2005-11-08 21:52:51 EST 
Currently when Bugzilla emails a bug change notification it does not include 
any information regarding the component currently housing the bug.  I listen 
to a vast number of bug buckets resulting in hundreds of mails to sort 
through.  It would be great if I did not have to actually click on the links 
and wait for bugzilla just to tell what comonent the bug relates to.

Of course, my hope is that there is a configuration settting somwhere to turn 
this on...

Jeff, you will have that with Bugzilla 2.20. It adds some new mail headers you
can use for filtering.

X-Bugzilla-Reason: CC
X-Bugzilla-Product: 
X-Bugzilla-Component: 

Of course, the webmaster needs to check that they are added to the mail
templates in the Bugzilla parameters configuration page.

Thanks for looking into this Gunnar.

I'd like to put the info in the message body as opposed to the header, but one
thing at a time.  I'll start by upgrading first.

Mhm. I'm not sure. It's easier for my to define a server side rule in Outlook
that looks inside mail headers. I also don't like to clutter the mail body with
this. I sometimes get mail from other bug tracking systems (Scarab, Mantis,
Jira) and they post a whole header full of bug information inside the body ..
ugly. I prefere the clean and simple mails from Bugzilla.

The headers are usually hidden so having the value there is not all that 
useful.  What I was really after was to konw what component the bug relates to 
as I read the new comment/changes. There is already tons of space between the 
URL and the actual comment.

Well, it's a template that can be customized to suit your needs. Additionally to
the headers, the tags can be inserted into the subject or the body. :)

Product has been added.  Testing component.
Comment 7 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2005-11-24 14:15:11 EST 
Closing as fixed.  Product and component information have been added to the mailed summaries.

Bugzilla 2.20 is beautiful.  Thanks for requesting this.
