Blank lines and lines beginning with '#' are +ignored, as well anything following a line starting with '--'. All the +listed commands are executed in order and their output returned. + +The comment-style interface appends a comment to the bug specified in +the subject tag. The the first non-multipart body is attached with +the appropriate content-type. In the case of "text/plain" contents, +anything following a line starting with '--' is stripped. + +The create-style interface creates a bug whose summary is given by the +email's post-tag subject. The body of the email must begin with a +psuedo-header containing at least the "Version" field. Anything after +the pseudo-header and before a line starting with '--' is, if present, +attached as the bugs first comment. + +Take a look at my interfaces/email/interactive/examples for some +examples. + +-- +This email may be signed or encrypted with GPG (http://www.gnupg.org). +The GPG signature (if present) will be attached as 'signature.asc'. +For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy + +My public key is at http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/pubkey.txt diff --git a/.be/bugs/e0858b12-0be3-49bb-ad7a-030e488bb2f1/comments/a0e846ed-1549-4ec3-b94d-391e54610f61/values b/.be/bugs/e0858b12-0be3-49bb-ad7a-030e488bb2f1/comments/a0e846ed-1549-4ec3-b94d-391e54610f61/values new file mode 100644 index 0000000..30de513 --- /dev/null +++ b/.be/bugs/e0858b12-0be3-49bb-ad7a-030e488bb2f1/comments/a0e846ed-1549-4ec3-b94d-391e54610f61/values @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +Alt-id: <20090719130153.GA4036@mjolnir.home.net> + + +Content-type: text/plain + + +Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2009 09:01:53 -0400 + + +From: '"W.
