OK, it is now fixed. But I did not get any mail about it (at least for this bug report). I miss also your last comment ("Previous fix was incomplete") and why didn't you get a mail about my initial bug report (or did you recieve it?).
Is there a problem with trac and mails?
As far as I can tell, trac doesn't mail changes caused by subversion commits.
Right. But I expect to get a mail once a comment was added or the bug gets closed. I do get such mails for some bugs but not for all (yes, I checked my spam folder). Also some maintainers (and also John) wrote that they didn't know about a new bug report. I once was also forced to open a bug report about trac as it considered some of my patches as SPAM and rejected these. So there are definitevly some issues. The biggest problem I see is that it is impossible to search for own bugs (at least without registration which is <quote>normally granted to maintainers and authors of prospective (“sandbox”) and accepted Boost libraries, people working on the Boost website, and people contributing significant content to this Wiki.</quote>), especially once they are closed as they are not well handled on http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report (only one item shows also closed ones). You can also not list the submitter of a bug, only the owner ... Jens
