When I originally post to gnats (via send-pr) or email to 
gnats-bugs@gnats.netbsd.org. The message gets added to the netbsd-bugs
archive and a problem report webpage is generated.

It seems like sometimes when I reply, it does not get appended to the
problem report webpage and a new message is not sent to netbsd-bugs.

For example:
 http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=11975
(It also in the netbsd-bugs archive.)

I replied twice to gnats-admin. Shouldn't it be added to the problem
report webpage? What about being sent to the netbsd-bugs?

Or should I reply (add my details) a different way? Should I email to
gnats-bugs instead?

My two replies below:

Forget about the grammar part! I guess my bachelor's degree in journalism
doesn't help :)

"contents .. are" is correct.

This is a patch to the previous bin/11975 patch.

Thanks! It does have one problem. I sent the following email, but it never
made it (at least it isn't archived one the mailing list or with the
problem report):
