Please change Bugzilla email settings for wine-bugs

[Dan Kegel]

Say, could we set Mr. Bugs' email preferences in Bugzilla
so that mail is never sent to wine-bugs if the CC field changes?
I'm getting mighty tired of clicking on something in the
wine-bugs archive and seeing only

Not easily. Mr. Bugs is set as a globalwatcher in the main prefs.

'globalwatchers'
     A comma-separated list of users who should receive a copy of every 
notification mail the system sends.

One way I see fixing this is to remove Mr. Bugs from the globalwatchers 
and log in as him and check all the types of mail we want him to 
receive. This is how we used to do it before the globalwatchers option 
was added. I'm not really sure of the ramifications of doing this.

If I recall correctly, it was changed to globalwatcher because wine-bugs
wouldn't receive a copy of bug changes any more if the bug wasn't
assigned to him and you didn't explictly add him to cc.

Ah.  OK, can we put in some ad hoc filtering there to
remove just a few noisy sources of emails?

Please don't filter the mail sent to wine-bugs (it also serves as
a complete backup and change tracker of the bugzilla). However it
should be easy to filter the mail you receive: There is a
X-Bugzilla-Changed-Fields header in mails from bugzilla which
contains only "CC" if that was the only field changed. The
problem is that there is no header for an added comment so you
would not want to throw away messages that contain "--- Comment"
at the beginning of a line in the body.
