Description:
I frequently experience that notification mails from bugs.mysql.com have truncate the link to report.  

Last example is that I reported: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=36132
When Valeriy replied I got a notification mail reading 

ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email!
To reply, use the web interface found at
http://bugs.mysql.com/?id6132&edit=2

 Updated by:       Valeriy Kravchuk ...

Note here that: '36132' was truncated to '6132'.

I frequently subscribe to bug reports that are not my own (up to 5 per day), and it is not always easy to 'find back', when it is not your own report.

How to repeat:
I cannot find a reproducable pattern!  But I fell the problem is 'accelerating' at the moment!

Suggested fix:
Debug the bugs system mail code ... :-)

Just had one more example of this!

Got a mail reading: 

ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email!
To reply, use the web interface found at
http://bugs.mysql.com/?id6458&edit=2

when Sveta posted "Data is written to general query log in ... "

It was this one: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=36458

.. again first digit was truncated!.  Seems to happen when 'not a bug..

this is probably a problem with your mail client. for some reason, it is interpreting the emails as if they were quoted-printable encoded, and turning the =36 into '6' (which happens to be 0x36 in ASCII).

But why does it seem to happen only when 'not a bug'.
Is there a different typography (just a detail as a SPACE character) with 'not a bugs' compared to other?

FYI: I am using webmail (connecting to HORDE on a PLESK-managed RHEL4 server with a browser). No POP3 client.

No big issue of course ..

Sorry, but I can't debug your email client.
