179734 - approved (super)reviews don't sort with normal bugmails

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Attachments & Requests, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

I have my bugmail sorted by subject, which just about works (although New:
bugmails sometimes sort at the end I can live with that) except for the new
approved request bugmails, which sort at the very end of the folder :-(
(I don't know about other relevant bugmails because I don't get those :-)

That was intentional.  The original request tracker that this system replaces
allowed them to sort the same, and people who got LOTS and LOTS of bugmail
complained because review requests were "more important" and they'd get lost in
a mailbox full of bugmail.  So that was one of the primary design goals of the
new flag system was to make the mail distinguishable from normal bugmail by mail
filters.

So moving [Bug 178604] before superreview: makes it less distinguishable?

Comment 3

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

well, it does come from a different sender, and people can filter on that.
Reopening.

(Incidentally, we ahve several sxtra spaces in the output; probably need to
CHOMP in the template somewhere)

I think you should filter your bugmail, or tag them. Everyone has different wishes about how to triage bugmail, and this should be done in your email client.

Well, I won't push the point, as I gave up with the idea of sorting by subject years ago, but I fail to see how tags can merge disparate items together. (Don't tell me to create one tag per bug, at that rate I might as well print out each email on a separate page and reorder them by hand.)
