I found that the incoming mail has to specify the database so I created a
new email alias that handles bugs for a specific database.  Then I had to
add a cron entry to process the queue for that database. 

The incoming responses are appended to the audit-trail, but I had set the
audit-trail to read-only so the changes were being thrown away.

Chad

I found that the reply works for the "default" database, but not for other
databases.  When I reply to a message from another database, a new PR is
created in the default database.

I created a test database and used it for testing.  So the configuration is
the standard configuration.

Any ideas why it would create a new PR when the reply is using a different
database?

Thanks
Stuart

This shouldn't happen if you retain the subject heading from the autoreply
GNATS sent you.

It should be appended to the current problem report in the Audit Trail.

Yep.
