Nope. I think it should be Just New Bugs to keep noise down. The idea is to get the summary and description in front of eyeballs, and no follow-up notification unless you explicitly CC yourself. This is basically the model I use today, except I had to set up explicit email filters to get it from the existing list, and that's a totally unnecessary burden to put on everyone. As Ben Kaduk says, discussion can and should happen in Bugzilla. > What I'm curious about is the level of non-announce mail > that's going to be on the list.

Totally agree. It's most useful announce-only. > Hmm, something that could reduce the traffic even more would be to send > out a once-daily mail summarizing the short description lines of all > bugs entered in the past 24 hours.

I prefer the other model, but I believe mailman can accommodate this mode simultaneously with a single list =E2=80=94 I think users can configur= ed it to do this on a individual user basis. Conrad
