IIRC des has been insistent on deprecating the severity/priority fields (as you note, the data in them are 90%+ bogus). However, worse than all these problems is the fact that no one has come up with code to reenable the web-based send-pr, and IMHO that's a more important (but related) task to all the above. Note that I'm not volunteering any patches to any of the above at this time :-) Well, maybe I might for the templates, since they're pretty busted, anwyays. mcl
