[openbeos] Re: Bug-reporting on Mail Daemon Replacement

Hello,

It would be nice to have some kind of an "automatic" bug reporting tool (a
la Windows XP ;-) wich would allow us to make a bugreport ourselved too.
Advantage for you guys would be to have a "standard" bugreport form to work
through.

just my humble opinion (euro 0,02),

Greetz,

Rob
