Users with disabled accounts will continue to receive
mail from Bugzilla; furthermore, they will not be able

per line) to the file <filename>data/nomail</filename>.

Even users whose accounts have been disabled can still

<title>Email Settings</title>
<para>On this tab you can reduce or increase the amount of email sent
you from Bugzilla, opting in our out depending on your relationship to
the bug and the change that was made to it.
</para>
<para>
You can also do further filtering on the client side by
using the X-Bugzilla-Reason mail header which Bugzilla
adds to all bugmail. This tells you what relationship you have to the
bug in question,
and can be any of Owner, Reporter, QAcontact, CClist, Voter and
WatchingComponent.</para>
This tab controls the amount of email Bugzilla sends you.
</para>
<para>By entering user email names, delineated by commas, into the
"Users to watch" text entry box you can receive a copy of all the
bugmail of other users (security settings permitting.) This powerful
functionality enables seamless transitions as developers change
projects or users go on holiday.</para>
<para>
The first item on this page is marked <quote>Users to watch</quote>.
When you enter one or more comma-delineated user accounts (usually email
addresses) into the text entry box, you will receive a copy of all the
bugmail those users are sent (security settings permitting).
This powerful functionality enables seamless transitions as developers
change projects or users go on holiday.

<note>
<para>The ability to watch other users may not be available in all
Bugzilla installations. If you can't see it, ask your
administrator.</para>
<para>
The ability to watch other users may not be available in all
Bugzilla installations. If you don't see this feature, and feel
that you need it, speak to your administrator.
</para>
</note>
<para>
In general, users have almost complete control over how much (or
how little) email Bugzilla sends them. If you want to receive the
maximum amount of email possible, click the <quote>Enable All
Mail</quote> button. If you don't want to receive any email from
Bugzilla at all, click the <quote>Disable All Mail</quote> button.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Your Bugzilla administrator can stop a user from receiving
bugmail by adding the user's name to the
<filename>data/nomail</filename> file. This is a drastic step
best taken only for disabled accounts, as it overrides the
the user's individual mail preferences.
</para>
</note>
<para>
If you'd like to set your bugmail to something besides
'Completely ON' and 'Completely OFF', the
<quote>Field/recipient specific options</quote> table
allows you to do just that. The rows of the table
define events that can happen to a bug -- things like
attachments being added, new comments being made, the
priority changing, etc. The columns in the table define
your relationship with the bug:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing="compact">
<listitem>
<para>
Reporter - Where you are the person who initially
reported the bug. Your name/account appears in the
<quote>Reporter:</quote> field.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Assignee - Where you are the person who has been
designated as the one responsible for the bug. Your
name/account appears in the <quote>Assigned To:</quote>
field of the bug.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
QA Contact - You are one of the designated
QA Contacts for the bug. Your account appears in the
<quote>QA Contact:</quote> text-box of the bug.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
CC - You are on the list CC List for the bug.
Your account appears in the <quote>CC:</quote> text box
of the bug.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Voter - You have placed one or more votes for the bug.
Your account appears only if someone clicks on the
<quote>Show votes for this bug</quote> link on the bug.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<note>
<para>
Some columns may not be visible for your installation, depending
on your site's configuration.
</para>
</note>
<para>
To fine-tune your bugmail, decide the events for which you want
to receive bugmail; then decide if you want to receive it all
the time (enable the checkbox for every column), or only when
you have a certain relationship with a bug (enable the checkbox
only for those columns). For example: if you didn't want to
receive mail when someone added themselves to the CC list, you
could uncheck all the boxes in the <quote>CC Field Changes</quote>
line. As another example, if you never wanted to receive email
on bugs you reported unless the bug was resolved, you would
un-check all boxes in the <quote>Reporter</quote> column
except for the one on the <quote>The bug is resolved or
verified</quote> row.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Bugzilla adds the <quote>X-Bugzilla-Reason</quote> header to
all bugmail it sends, describing the recipient's relationship
(AssignedTo, Reporter, QAContact, CC, or Voter) to the bug.
This header can be used to do further client-side filtering.
</para>
</note>
<para>
Two items not in the table (<quote>Email me when someone
asks me to set a flag</quote> and <quote>Email me when someone
sets a flag I asked for</quote>) define how you want to
receive bugmail with regards to flags. Their use is quite
straightforward; enable the checkboxes if you want Bugzilla to
send you mail under either of the above conditions.
</para>
<para>
By default, Bugzilla sends out email regardless of who made the
change... even if you were the one responsible for generating
the email in the first place. If you don't care to receive bugmail
from your own changes, check the box marked <quote>Only email me
reports of changes made by other people</quote>.
