Over-quoting in messages to the bugdb!
Come on, people, please check the mail headers before you forward a
reply into the bugdb! I've been seeing a lot of replies that
originally Cced GNATS getting forwarded there *again*, apparently
because the forwarder thought it wasn't. The result is that PRs are
getting filled up with multiple copies of the same stuff.
So *please* make sure "apbugs" *wasn't* on the distribution before
you forward a message to it "for the record."
Also, when replying with a Cc to apbugs, *please* reduce the amount
of quoting you do of the original message to just what's relevant.
It happens less now, but for a while a two-line reply would have the
original 40-line original message quoted at the bottom..
Just MHO.
