Details

As you can see in the URL above, Bugzilla's HTML display of comments gets sadly confused by news: URLs in comment fields -- it thinks part of the message-ID is an e-mail address, and tries to turn it into a mailto: link. This makes it rather difficult for anyone to use the news: link except by de-mangling it by hand. The URL seems to be fine in the diff e-mail I got after I submitted the comment, so I think the database is fine internally. I'll repeated the news URL here, so it'll probably happen again: <news://secnews.netscape.com/7d79cc$fdg1@secnews.netscape.com>

Damn it. Damn damn damn. I was afraid that Perl CPAN module might have a bug like this. I'll see what I can do.
