Bug Description
When one is subscribed to or assigned a bug by another person the body of the email can be quite confusing. Here a portion of one such email:
"Gema Gomez (gema.gomez) has assigned this bug to you for wpasupplicant in Ubuntu:
Binary package hint: wpasupplicant
I was working on a machine with a broadcom wifi card. It used the ..."
The part after the first line and the colon is the bug's description, however there is no indication of this in the body of the bug mail. Its easily possible to think this is the assigner's comment when in fact it isn't. (Okay maybe the "this bug" is trying to tell me that what follows is information about the bug but it really should be more clear.) Additionally, in this particular case (bug 638303) the assigner did make a comment and that doesn't appear in this bug mail at all.
