6 Not everybody hates it, and it's there to dissuade users from replying
7 to Bugzilla mail by hitting reply in the MUA.

11 We never supported Bugzilla email interface - it's been fraught with

14 The address of bugzilla@g.o goes to the group of us that admin
15 bugzilla (mainly me), and from that alone, I get 4-5 emails a week from
16 that alias alone. Don't you get random less-than-clueful users emailing
17 you instead of responding on Bugzilla?
