Ho ho ho! Thanks Trent, I didn't knows. All this time I had been tediously going to the .html page, downloading the mbox, breaking it apart and putting it in my correct ~/Maildir path and invoking my $MTA, and generally faffing about.
If you then give a shit about the ticket,
$ bts subscribe 565308
...which assume you have a working MTA and $EMAIL is set appropriately (which should bloody well hold for all hosts :-/)
Didn't know about that one, but do have a short little procmail recipe that can subscribe for me if I respond to a mail in the BTS. Meanwhile thankfuck debian BTS messages tend to not spam so much as RHEL. I subscribed to the recent leapsecond bug in the RHEL6 kernel, and have had about 50 emails so far about needinfo and versioning and other crap. All going to my private email address because I was silly enough to mention something from it (who else gets sick of them mentioning CVE fix relates to BZ #XXXX, not saying when said regression was introduced, and locking down said BZ so their corporate customers can't see the ticket in question even when logged in with the corporate account, and so can't work out whether we need to repatch the very recently frozen machines bureau wide?) -- Tim Connors
