[Biopython-dev] Notification: incoming/28

[chris dagdigian]

I'm not sure we are doing much with .notify files unless that is the 
mechanism by which new reports get sent to bioperl-l.

However- the reason you saw email when you MOVED bug reports is that 
there should be a place in the jitterbug GUI called "Notifications:" or 
somesuch. That gets trigggered every time you add notes, move or delete 
a bug report.

I'll poke around and see why the new incoming stuff does not generate 
email. In the meantime it may be worthwhile looking at the web interface 
again to see how the notification stuff is set up.
