Splitting automated mail from human mail?

[Chip Turner]

Bugzilla is great for process and automation and workflow, but it is
lousy for actually discussing things, especially as a group.  If two
or three people are discussing something, mailing lists seem fine to
me.  Bugzilla is great to make sure requests don't fall off and get
left behind, but it shouldn't, IMO, be the actual medium of
collaboration.
