I made the proposed change for the url link but I did not implemented the more complex configurability change (not completely trivial in fact).

That's the way it's shown at CERN

From: "noreply [anonymous]" <noreply-savannah@cern.ch>"

I do not really enjoy it much but copying it would make the whole stuff more consistent between installations. I'd prefer the "Bla bla via INSTALLATION". Opinions?

Finally, we could make this configurable with strings, that could be the best. One could have

"\"noreply [%USER]\" <noreply-savannah@cern.ch>"

while another would have

"%USER via Gna! <NO-REPLY.INVALID-ADDRESS@gna.org"

That's maybe the wisest choice.

We get several people replying to mail notifications at Savannah - and then complain.

Is there a way to make it clearer that people should not reply to the notifications?

I do not really like Buzilla's way ("PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MAIL").

We could, for example, replace "This item URL is:" by "Reply to this item at:".

Maybe something can be made more explicit in the beginning of the mail as well.

This is a temporary solution until we implement a mail interface. I am motivated by the idea, although I lack time at the moment. (Incidentally, by looking at how RT (badly) implements the feature, I also think it is not a trivial one.)

Any though?
