The problem is that nutch-dev (like most Apache mailing lists) sets the "Reply-to" header to be itself, so that responses don't go back to the sender. If you override this when responding (changing the "To:" line) and respond to the sender, then it should end up as a comment, which will be then copied to nutch-dev. But there's unfortunately no way to automatically override this. Thus its best to click on the link in the message and respond directly in Jira. This is also more reliable. Sending messages to Jira doesn't always seem to work correctly. It might be good to disable that sentence suggesting that folks reply to the email, but I don't know if that's possible.

Hi list,

There is this sentence at the end of every JIRA message:

"You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online."

But, replying to a JIRA message through nutch-dev doesn't add it as a
comment. So you have to either reply to an email through JIRA (in
which case, it looks like you are responding to an imaginary person:)
or through email (in which case, part of the discussion doesn't get
documented in JIRA). Why doesn't this work?
