It would be nice that in the posts made by the bugzilla system, the NG 
sender field had some info about the original poster, instead of 
"d-bugmail at puremagic.com". For instance, like "braddr at puremagic.com 
[BUGZILLA]" or some variation of that (possibly with the real name 
instead of email).
