That sounds like a good compromise; I guess that less than 1 per mille of my bug mail is about multi-project/multi-status changes, and for those it's better to read the entire mail anyway.

I have used the mutt color coding for half a year now, and it made bug mail processing a lot easier. I can immediately delete duplicates and fix released/invalid bugs if they didn't get a followup after closing.

But few people use mutt and even have the liberty of doing that client-side color coding, so those tags in the subject would still be useful. Sure they will block half of the subject from being displayed if they get long, but either it didn't change at all (which is immediately visible from the bug), or in the few cases where it did, you can still open the mail to see it in its entirety.

Thanks, Karl!
