This issue related to 1292178 and probably 1281907.

It is possible to get nosy emails from consecutive
changes to an issue, that all repeatedly say "New
submission from admin".

Process:
1) Create issue with blank message. Submit.
2)  Modify issue by adding message. Submit.
3) Receive nosy email stating "New Submission"
4) Modify issue by changing a field (no message)
5) Nosy email sent stating "New submission..."

roundupdb.py:

 if authid:
            if len(self.get(nodeid,'messages')) == 1:
                m.append("New submission from
%s%s:"%(authname, authaddr))


I think checking for existence of 1 message is causing
problem, and not checking that issue existed before...

Thanks!

The problem here is that it's very difficult to detect that whether 
the issue existed before the message was added.

Is this possible?

If history file is empty -or- if history file does not exist(?)
  use "New submission..." statement


I am trying to find out how history file is used/accesed in
meantime...
Thanks!

No, this really isn't possible without some sort of yucky, 
potentially unreliable hack.
