JoeS: Yeah, I didn’t mean to single you out in anyway. The only reason it was chosen was because I tested against it a bunch. It had urls and short names, plus you included comment anchors. But you make a good point, there’s no reason why I’m not writing in HTML as well.

James: it might be possible to grab those headers and use them for additional information about the bug that can be displayed or to guess the correct URL.

Bugmail contains all sorts of “X-Bugzilla-foo” headers to enable better filtering. I think there’s a bug to add the URL of the bug database as a new header precisely so filters can tell what database a bugmail is from. I think the easiest way to extract the URL now is from the “Do not reply to this email. You can add comments to this bug at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212790” line.

Thanks for singling out my post as an example of an “ugly post”
(no offense taken, I know exactly what you meant)..The acceptance of HTML posting in newgroups is the obvious answer. IMHO it’s an example of intransigence in some parts of the community, that makes an extension neccessary when the real answer is to use available, and generally accepted practices.

Have you added this to http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Addons yet?

Yet another idea. Configure the extension to offer a (configurable) list of bugzilla links.

Yeah. Knowing which bugzilla is the real trick. Keying off of the sender’s email is interesting, but would of course fail a lot.

I just use a handy bookmarklet for opening non-linked bugzillas that folks send me.

Another option for making the links smaller is tinyurl. Also note that the bugzilla.redhat.com accepts urls of the form https://bugzilla.redhat.com/426175
Still a little big, I realize, but somewhat less flow impeding.

jonner: that’s a great idea! It doesn’t have that kind of smarts, but I’d love to see it. Grab the code if you can!

Another suggestion was that if it sees one kind of bugzilla link that it uses that for the default in that message. I’m not sure if that’s the right behavior, but we can try it.

Is it smart enough to convert the plaintext ‘bug xxxxx’ into a link to the right bugzilla based on the from address of the email? (e.g. if the mail came from a gnome.org address, it should create a link to gnome bugzilla, and if it came from a mozilla.org address, it should create a link to mozilla bugzilla, etc.)
