             Bug #: 55954

           Summary: Bugzilla breaks mail threading

    Classification: Unclassified

           Product: gcc

           Version: unknown

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Severity: normal

          Priority: P3

         Component: web

        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org

        ReportedBy: mkuvyr...@gcc.gnu.org





GCC bugzilla prepends "New: " to subject lines which causes popular mail

clients (Gmail, Apple Mail, Sparrow, likely others) to use different mail

threads for the original bug email and for followups.  This is annoying.



Mail clients usually put messages in the same thread if (1) subjects are the

same modulo "Re:" and (2) In-Reply-To header is set to a message from the

thread.  Using "New: " for the first message, but not followups, breaks this

model.



There ought to be a switch to disable this.



Thanks.
