Was the email analysis put together with various scripts or did you use something that can output this if given access to archived email?

Just scripts. Wouldn't be super hard to make the analyzer more generic. What would you use it for?

What a wonderful insight into the gritty world of open-source software. Scratch that, "software that is used externally" is more fitting. I find that the most offensive (in that we should improve and fix the issue) waste of time at my company is when we are treading water during the back and forth communication to a customer while trying to solve a bug. Lack of log files, reproductions, use cases, version numbers, environment details, etc. Don't forget time zone differences, introducing a very painful days latency.

It isn't our customer's fault - some inside have championed for a product feature that creates a "bug report bundle" containing useful details that will assist the debugging developer at my company. Since the product deals with sensitive customer data, this feature has been deemed a non-starter. Does anybody know how to streamline this particular process where sensitive data is involved? It is like trying to drive blind in a woefully slow car!

RyJones, do they give you a "if you believe this is an error url?"

Sorry non native english speaker and this confused me a bit "others are operation-based synchronizer" Is it that they only sync with a button push or something and you fetch stuff when content changes on server ?

I'm a native english speaker and I have no idea what that means either.
