Let me add a few notes here.

If you just send email to "query-pr@ardi.com" with no subject, you
will get a 300K message listing all the bug reports we've ever
received, even the ones that have been fixed.  You probably don't want
that (and our modem definitely doesn't :-).  Here are some sample
"Subject:" lines for your email to query-pr@ardi.com:

--skip-closed --full --category=browser

would give you the full text of all open problem reports for the
browser (roughly 30K of text right now).

--skip-closed --full --text=floppy

would give you the full text of all open problem reports that have the
text "floppy" (case insensitive) in the synopsis (roughly 2K of text
right now).

--full 905

would give you the full text of PR number 905 (PR stands for "problem
report").  If you report a bug and we tell you the problem report
number, you can check on its status at any time by querying our
database by email and providing the PR number in the subject line.
