User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030821 Build Identifier: The hyperlinks to other bugs look very odd in show_bug.cgi, because they are striked out. This may be OK for duplicate bugs, but it looks very odd for a "See also bug 123". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Refer to another bug id. Actual Results: The hyperlink looks like "<strike><a href=...>text</a></strike> Expected Results: The <strike> element is not necessary

Your statement does not agree the the HTML guide section 3.2.1, "Autolinkification": It's not mentioned that a link to another bug automatically means the link is to a deleted or closed bug. IF you really want that strikeout feature add a regular expression for "dead bug" instead of "bug".

Ulrich, I didn't understand your statement entirely. Not all bugs linked to are dead, of course -- it depends on the actual *state* of that bug. Bugs in the RESOLVED/CLOSED/VERIFIED state are striked out; bugs that are UNCONFIRMED/NEW/ASSIGNED are not. Is the documentation unclear to you?
This feature got a *lot* of discussion that included folks that do UI design for a living before it was ever implemented. Not all bug links are struck out, only links to bugs that have been resolved. Whether the bug is resolved or not is checked at runtime *as the HTML is being generated*. If the bug being refered to has not yet been resolved at the point you are viewing the comment in question, then it will not be struck out.

Oops: Bugzilla is more clever than I thought: The bug referred to actually was "RESOLVED/REMIND", so it was striked out. The documentation did not mention that cleverness. Maybe add a paragraph to the documentation. Sorry for the confusion!
