the mailing lists and user accounts are fairly forgiving, but the gnats/pr
stuff doesn't seem to be... is that by design? right now I'm filling out
the send-pr form, :w'ing it, then scp'ing it out to a viable mailer and
hand-editing the comment stuff out and sending that... (current setup is
a pair of fbsd clients behind a redcrap ipmasq (natd)... the redhat machine
CAN send pr's, its sendmail smarthost/masq stuff works, I can't get the fbsd
ones to do the right thing tho...)
