If you didn't add yourself, then most likely because one of your bugs was resolved as a duplicate.

I noticed that more than half of the bugzilla messages I received result

from 2 other people removing themselves from the CC list, so we are at

least three receiving undesired messages from bugzilla when new bugs are opened.

You can configure what events will sent mails in your Bugzilla preferences.

Dear all,

Is this a known issue ? Could you fix it if not already fixed ? TIA.

When you file a bug with bugzilla there is a box you can check if you want to be informed if there are changes made related to that bug. Those changes included when someone is added or removed from the cc list. If you have reported a bug and that box was checked, this could be why you're receiving these messages.

Adding and removing people from the cc list happens a lot. Bugs get reasssigned, marked as duplicates and people who checked the box when filing a bug, hoping to hear that it has been fixed, also get all these other messages, in addition to one every time someone removes their own address from the cc list.

Try following the link in one message from each unique bug number and see if that is the issue.

If it is a bug in bugzilla, this list is not the place to go to get it fixed. Not sure exactly where, but there must be a bugzilla *for* bugzilla.

We had a Bugzilla user who filed a couple of enhancement requests and for whatever reason included a large list of email address in the Cc: fields. If you are annoyed, please send him a mail and ask him to stop this.
