That's why the news archives here use 'xx' instead of 'at' <g>.

I'm really too unhappy with how hacky the changes are right now to even hand out diffs.  I really want to make it more flexible and configurable than it is.  Right now it's very hardcoded, every bug, regardless of product, category, etc.. all get posted to digitalmars.D.bugs and only on the news.digitalmars.com server.  Unacceptable, really.

It would be nice that in the posts made by the bugzilla system, the NG sender field had some info about the original poster, instead of "d-bugmail@puremagic.com". For instance, like "braddr@puremagic.com [BUGZILLA]" or some variation of that (possibly with the real name instead of email).
