Can you show Sender: information by your mail program? That's what I use both for show and filter. This seems like a problem that is more general than just the question of whether Autoconf or Libtool should use debbugs. IOW, if the above is not sufficient, then debbugs should provide help. (Or we could also patch mail user agents. ;-) I'm adding Glenn in Cc:, in case he has further input on this. Thanks, Ralf
