(Seem I should be able to close the issue just by way of the email button, no?)

(it seems to me that i should be able to close this issue by using the close button on the email rather than having to come here, log in, add a comment an then hit the comment button which should be "Submit" rather than comment since "Close this issue" is a sufficient act and is not a comment but an action)

Thanks for fixing this issue!

I wonder if they have the resources for a rethink on the reporting sequence. This all seems first drafty. I suspect the government facing side takes lots of work.
