63 Note that the way this feature works is perhaps not ideal (Bug#1720).
64 If X-Debbugs-CC: was specifed by a real header, that header is removed
65 in the mail sent out to the bug list, and the addresses merged into
66 the Resent-CC header (see below). They don't appear as an explicit CC:
67 header, nor do they appear in the Reply-To: header. So people you
68 X-Debbugs-CC are not included in any following discussion unless they are
69 manually cc'd. So this feature really only serves to notify them that
70 a bug has been filed. It's then up to them to follow any subsequent
71 discussion.

73 If X-Debbugs-CC were merged into the Reply-To header, this might work
74 more the way people expect.

76 ** How does Debbugs send out mails?
77
78 The mails are sent out to the bug list with From: and To: unchanged.
79 Eg if you file a bug with "submit@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com", that
80 remains in the To: address. They reach the bug list by being resent.
81
82 Mails arriving at the bug list have the following Resent-* headers:
83
84 Resent-From: person who submitted the bug
85 Resent-To: bug-submit-list@donarmstrong.com
86 Resent-CC: maintainer email address, plus any X-Debbugs-CC: entries
87
88 The "maintainer email address" is "Emacs Bugs <bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>"
89 in most cases.
90
91 They also have:
92
93 Reply-To: bug submitter, 123@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com

63 ** To not get acknowledgement mail from the tracker, 95 ** To not get acknowledgement mail from the tracker,
64 add an "X-Debbugs-No-Ack:" header (with any value). If you use Gnus, 96 add an "X-Debbugs-No-Ack:" header (with any value). If you use Gnus,
65 you can add an element to gnus-posting-styles to do this automatically, eg: 97 you can add an element to gnus-posting-styles to do this automatically, eg:
