only Reply sends out new emails. Please add grass5 to the cc list if 
relevant.

no idea. Commas usually work.

Kill it.

Open bug, click "Status", set status to "dead", click "Kill".

Real bugs get closed with "Resolve" for later searches.

I've found that these sort of web apps don't like you hitting the back
button in the browser or driving it from multiple tabs. Confuses it.

"Owner" is on a volunteer basis. i.e. don't volunteer anyone else for 
the job who hasn't asked for it.

Please make use of the "priority" settings to make it easy to sort the
bug list for the important ones.. 100% is critical, 0% is low priority.

5.4 wishes can be set to archive now I guess, high priority 5.4 bugs
still need to be listed?


good luck & thanks.
