When a fix for bug 11368 lands, it would be nice to be able to hit Reply on any activity change on the bug, and let bugzilla's JS paste the e-mail representation of that change into the textarea for the comment.

As an example, this is what I did in bug 104049 comment 19 :

Thunderbird had a way of doing this with an add-on and its a waste of space once it become a comment.

Huh? You are requesting something for a feature which doesn't exist yet. Let us first implement bug 11368, and we will see what we will do with it. :)

"Thunzilla" and "Bugzilla Helper" add-ons for thunderbird are the ones I was referring that 
makes it easy to manage bug mail.

  The "reply" thing is an idea to keep in mind for bug 11368 (or afterward), for sure. I don't know if we'll use the email format, though.
