Yes
I have also figured out what is happening and it opens a whole new
kettle of worms. Thus:
If someone changes on the web interface, it is sending out with
Comment Added. However, if someone uses the email interface, it is
merely forwarding the email on, without changes, ala debbugs.
So here is catch:
People who come from Bugzilla like myself expect all bug emails to
have the same format. People who come from Debbugs expect bugs to be
more like an email conversation.
I think I would rather please the bugzilla-style people over the
debbugs style people as there are more of the former and more newer
bug squashers are used to bugzilla style. But that is my opinion.
