Great!

It will be great to get help testing this. Bear in mind that this is
simply the text from the wiki, and that it lags behind the wiki a bit.
If you want to proof-read the text you should refer to the wiki.
There, you can also make changes to the text if you think that it can
be improved!

I'm not sure this is a desirable feature. We're now in the process of
making all error conditions send you an email, so that you can safely
assume that if an error email hasn't been sent the incoming email was
processed correctly.

If at all, I think a request for confirmation should only be an
optional flag, since I expect many users would not like the extra
incoming email (I know I wouldn't like it). What do you think?

You're right, the database is almost nearly full, which is why we have
decided that once we reach the limit (I think there are about 300 or
so IDs left) we're simply going to delete the existing DB and start
from scratch. After all, bugs that old probably aren't worth fixing
anyway. In fact, it has been suggested that we make it a tradition and
start with a fresh bugs database every year on April 1st ;-)
