Bug Description
The bugmail from address is bugid@..
The bugmail from address is bugid@... (the part after the @ is irrelevant.)
This may pose a problem if one of the contact email addresses for someone Cc'd on a bug is a mailing list. This will be most an issue when the MLM:
* is configured to only accept mail from list subscribers (each and every bugid@ address will not be a list subscriber, of course!)
* can't be configured to whitelist email regexes (e.g. \d+@...)
This is not necessarily a critical issue, but it does deserve some thinking about.

I'm just trying out the email UI, that's all.
Blah.
