Yes, there is an e-mail reader that will submit bugs for

But then, it's pretty damn simple (now that the API supports perl)
to write a perl script to do the mail reading and bug submission
for you (their mailreader doesn't like MIME mail, even when the message
is plaintext).

I agree without some way for Unix users (in this case, the web) to use
the system and some way to handle e-mail, it's pretty limited...
