| Summary | 0005217: Summary formatting doesn't match Description formatting in email | ||||
| Description | The summary formatting doesn't match description formatting in emails. The summary follows the "Summary:" label, where the description is on the line following the label. Long summaries look poor. | ||||
| Additional Information | Example of current format: Summary: A bug Should be: Description: reported on IRC | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Given there's been no attempt to fix this in 9 years, marking this as 'wont fix' on following basis: a) will probably allow templates in emails after next release. b) summary is supposed to be short, hence on same line. Description is more a 'text block' - hence on seperate line. I personally wouldn't want to see summary on a seperate line in this context - and equally, moving description to start on the same line when it is a text block would probably get equal complaints due to indentation, so fix for this would be to allow users to customise via templates (Which is a seperate issue) |
