#166 closed enhancement (fixed)
Propose using '&' instead of comma as field separator on subject line

Description
Currently, fields on subject lines are separated by commas. e.g.,
Subject: This is a test ticket#?priority=minor,cc=knight,component=component1
This poses a problem when a keyword's value is itself a comma-separated list such as the 'cc' field. e.g.,
Subject: This is a test ticket#?priority=blocker,cc=knight,dmcr,component=component2
However, using '&' instead of comma as a field separator allows such specifications, and is consistent with standard web usage. e.g.,
This is a test ticket#?priority=blocker&cc=knight,dmcr&component=component2
The only change needed is on email2trac line 524:
fields = string.split(str, '&')

I adjusted the source and introduced a new parameter:
The default value is & as you suggested and i completely agree with it. But for backwards compatibility i made it an option so people can change it to the old value.
