<TITLE>How to Mail to bugzilla</TITLE>
<H1>THIS DOESN'T WORK RIGHT NOW. Coming someday.</H1>

There are default values for all these fields. If you don't specify a

the error. <P>
After the bug is posted, you will get mail verifying the posting
and informing you of the bug number if you wish to fix any
mistakes made by the auto-processor. <P>
