Note all the blank lines, #7-11. This may look good when one has a lot of
screen real estate, but on smaller terminals it is a very frustrating
luxury.

If it is an upstream problem, please relay this bug. Thanks.

Comment 2 Siebrand Mazeland 2010-02-13 00:34:56 UTC
Bulk assign Bugzilla related issues to pdhanda: current maintainer
Comment 3 p858snake 2010-06-16 04:10:01 UTC
Keywords: -Shell

Removing keywords, since this bug doesn't document anything that needs to be done by a shell user.
Comment 4 Chad H. 2010-06-16 11:15:56 UTC
A shell user will need to edit the BZ e-mail templates.
Comment 5 JeLuF 2010-08-13 21:05:36 UTC
Those blank lines are separating various optional blocks in the mail. If we remove the blank lines, those blocks will look odd when they are present.

Larger changes would be necessary to fix this issue and would cause extra efforts when upgrading bugzilla.
