Mail notification of bug creation includes things that haven't happened yet

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

When things happen to a newly-created bug within five minutes of its creation, the e-mail notification begins with its current state instead of its original state.

For example, the notification about bug 40631 being created included:

Affects: blueprint (upstream)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
     Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas
         Status: Unconfirmed

Five minutes later, a separate notification was sent about Steve Alexander changing the bug:

** Changed in: blueprint (upstream)
     Assignee: (unassigned) => Matthew Paul Thomas

The bug originally wasn't assigned to me, but the notification said it was.

Similarly for bug 41898, though this time it was all in a single notification:

Public bug reported:

Affects: launchpad (upstream)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
With only one bug filed (this is the second one) i do have a karma
listing that says: Bug Management 204 points. I think this is a bug...

** Changed in: malone (upstream)
      Product: Malone => Launchpad

(The test for fixing this may be part of bug 30138.)

Below, you can see a really strange-looking mail. It tells me that a
bug was reported with status `Fix Released'. I think this is probably
related somehow :-).

Thanks,
Ian.

Public bug reported:

Affects: gs-esp (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Fix Released

Description:
I just did a clean install of Dapper Flight 5 (was a Breezy user). I can no longer print .pdf files using the lpr command, nothing gets sent to the printer. Converting the file using pdftops and then opening the output.ps file in Evince results in:
Error: /configurationerror in --setpagedevice--

ESP Ghostscript 815.01: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

Printing the original .pdf file to the same printer from Evince works OK every time.

I tried to fix the problem by installing xpdf-utils but that resulted in
a conflict with poppler-utils so I backed out.

lp, lpr, pdftops commands result in unuseable postcript output

This happens because the code for batching changes together was the simplest change possible in order to get it to work. I'll work on improving this.
