Replying to Jira notifications (Was: [jira] Commented: (PDFBOX-979) errors in %%EOF handling (fix included))

Hi,

In general I think it's better to comment on issue on the issue tracker 
itself instead of replying to notifications on the mailing list.

Comments in Jira will get posted to the mailing list for all to read, 
and having all comments in Jira makes it easier to later review the full 
communication history related to any particular issue.

BR,

Jukka Zitting

Re: Replying to Jira notifications (Was: [jira] Commented: (PDFBOX-979) errors in %%EOF handling (fix included))

Posted by Ad...@swmc.com.
Didn't the old version of JIRA integrate with the mailing list?  I 
remember being surprised that e-mails were magically posted as comments 
before...

Either way, now that I know they're not connected, I'll make sure to 
comment via the web instead of e-mail.

Thanks,
Adam
