See http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1082 as an example

I guess by default Roundup clobbers the title with whatever the subject line
contains.  This is a pretty cool feature, but it also annoys me because people
end up changing the bug title without really meaning to, and then we either stop
being able to see what a bug is at a glance, or have to do extra work to re-set
the title.

I wish people would have to take more deliberate steps to change the title,
setting [title=foo] perhaps in the same way that they can modify priorities,
statuses and what not in the subject line.

I agree, this is counterproductive and we should disable it. It's not a roundup
option, we need to comment out the '# set the issue title to the subject' lines
in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/roundup/mailgw.py. I believe I need David to
do this or grant me write permission on the roundup files, or better set things
up so we use a local roundup installation which I can manage (with darcs, natch)
patch, upgrade as needed. I'll open a separate issue.

Assigned to David for next action, see also issue1097.

I think this had been resolved, but now we're running the system roundup so be 
advised it's once again something to watch out for.

I've now commented out the bit of code that Simon suggested

This email title changes from test to 'retest'.  Let's see what happens

Fixed, many thanks for the research, Simon!

Darn! My commenting out the title-setting code overshot.  Now new bugs don't get
titles.

So we need to find a solution which allows new bugs to get titles without
letting the old ones be overridden.

Or maybe I really just need to give up.

Hooray! This is fixed upstream by a config option:

msg_name=20100804100623.GA29910%40runtux.com

Looks like we're waiting for the next official release (post roundup 
1.4.15) and also a Debian package.
