Comment 2 for bug 636066

Hi, Colin.

Thanks for the bug report. We should indeed return a better error and let the comment through anyway.

I also think we should look at clearing up some of the ambiguity here and harden the interface to these kinds of errors, but I haven't thought much about it or looked at the email interface code with this in mind. I understand, too, there's some history here around the choices that were made prior to my involvement with Launchpad, so you might be right to be pessimistic about any change to the interface, just because people don't like to revisit these type of discussions. Especially with other issues pressing for attention, too.

Cheers,
