Sorry about that; initially I tried setting properties when I created
the ticket (e.g. "Subject: foo [assignedto=twb]") but this seems to
cause Roundup to reject the mail as naughty.  I haven't gotten around
to investigating that yet.

If I can't add properties when I create the ticket, I have to wait for
roundup to reply with a ticket number -- by which time I've normally
moved on to something else.

In the long-term, I expect "ru new" on my client-side ru(1) script to
be like reportbug(1), i.e. asking for a priority/severity and
prompting for a set of tags (topics) to include.
