547105 - Bugmail should look for linkable items and append them to the email

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 113688

(Bugzilla :: Email Notifications, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

I get mail like this all the time:

> Do not reply to this email.  You can add comments to this bug at

But I have no idea what bug 546762 is and if I want to know I have to look it up.  Similarly, it can happen in comments:

> Do not reply to this email.  You can add comments to this bug at

It would be handy if Bugzilla parsed those out and appended a list with summaries before the footer.  Something like:

> <snip>
>         Depends on|                            |546762
> --
> Bug 546762: Redirect from gmail fails on accessing the second link
> --
> Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email
> <snip>

Additionally, this doesn't need to be limited to only matching the Bug links.  I know bmo links revisions specified like r1234 to URLs like http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc?revision=1234&view=revision and the same could be done here.

This part is a dupe of bug 113688.

This part is a dupe of bug 97956.

This is the only remaining valid part of this bug.
