773327 - Add a new footer to bugmail content that shows current tracking flag values

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Extensions, enhancement)

Description

[Alex Keybl [:akeybl]]

Whatever is implemented in bug 772994, we'll want to do the same in content for easier filtering. Thanks!

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #772994 +++

I'd personally love to see this. It'd help get priority bugmail into my inbox. Based upon conversations here, I believe that would be helpful for others as well. Let's hear what they think though.

i only want to take this for 4.2, where we can style the extra content to make it less intrusive.

r=glob

i think this would be better placed before the "You are receiving this mail because" block instead of after it.

>+[% FOREACH field = Bugzilla.active_custom_fields(product=>bug.product_obj,component=>bug.component_obj,type=>2) %]

please correct the lack of spaces.
