Comment 1 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-02-08 09:51:49 UTC
LibreOffice active QA user Alexander Turgood <iplaw67@yahoo.co.uk> gets E-Mail notifications for more or less all Bug modifications concerning Product "LibreOffice". Reason for that in Mails is "You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug."
For that reason he got a mail when Comment Comment #1 has been created for "Bug 45657 - Unable to fully edit individual document when creating labels using mail merge" (for example); additionally he gets 100 or more similar mails, but I can't find out where he is listed as assignee for those bugs.

That flood flood of mails is very annoying, can you please help?

Alexander, do you have any users listed in your 'watch' section? Particularly the LibreOffice catch-all bug address?

Hi Daniel,

No, nothing in the watch section at all. However, it appears that I was for some reason subscribed to the libreoffice buglist mailing list, despite not having any confirmatory e-mail or password in my mail archive, and asking for the password (which in effect I did not have), and unsubscribing from the mailing list appears to have done the trick. How I got to be the bug assignee via a mailing list to which I did not subscribe, I have no idea.

The problem appears to be sorted now, so closing. Thanks to all for looking into this.

Alex
