Hi,

It would sometimes be convenient to send a message and set it as the
bug's summary at the same time, as there's no predictable (at least to
me) way to work out what number a message is going to get.

Something like

  summary nnnnnn !

to set the current message as summary would be great.

Cheers,
Iain

You can do this by using:

summary nnnn 0
 
I've fixed the documentation on the web pages to indicate this.
