Bill,
        I am glad I can help.  I hope that they are not all duplicates.  I
have done Software QA for over a year for The Learning Company in Fremont,
CA.  It was working on kids games, but it was good paying work and the QA
process is the same for most products.  I learned how to create some decent
bug reports and what the development process is like.
        Some decisions I know can be purely personal preference and simply
based on judgement calls, but I think it's better to over-report and throw
bugs out than to not report it at all.  This can take longer, but it makes
a better product.  I think the system works best this way, and it helps to
have a product you care about (but still be fairly objective, which was
hard at times).  I hope that's the kind of system you have established.

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a psuedo-header at all.

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.
