-        <title>Negation</title>
-        <para>
-          At first glance, negation seems redundant. Rather than
-          searching for
-          <blockquote>
-            <para>
-              NOT("summary" "contains the string" "foo"),
-            </para>
-          </blockquote>
-          one could search for 
-          <blockquote>
-            <para>
-              ("summary" "does not contain the string" "foo").
-            </para>
-          </blockquote>
-          However, the search 
-          <blockquote>
-            <para>
-              ("CC" "does not contain the string" "@mozilla.org")
-            </para>
-          </blockquote>
-          would find every bug where anyone on the CC list did not contain 
-          "@mozilla.org" while
-          <blockquote>
-            <para>
-              NOT("CC" "contains the string" "@mozilla.org")

-          </blockquote>
-          would find every bug where there was nobody on the CC list who
-          did contain the string. Similarly, the use of negation also permits
-          complex expressions to be built using terms OR'd together and then
-          negated. Negation permits queries such as
-          <blockquote>
-            <para>
-              NOT(("product" "equals" "update") OR 
-            ("component" "equals" "Documentation"))

-          </blockquote>
-          to find bugs that are neither 
-          in the update product or in the documentation component or
-          <blockquote>
-            <para>
-              NOT(("commenter" "equals" "%assignee%") OR 
-              ("component" "equals" "Documentation"))

-          The terms within a single row of a boolean chart are all
-          constraints on a single piece of data. If you are looking for
-          a bug that has two different people cc'd on it, then you need 
-          to use two boolean charts. A search for

-          </blockquote>
-          would return only bugs with "foo@mozilla.org" on the cc list.
-          If you wanted bugs where there is someone on the cc list
-          containing "foo@" and someone else containing "@mozilla.org",
-          then you would need two boolean charts.
-          <blockquote>

-      regular intervals (i.e. every 15 minutes on Sundays).  The results of the

-        clicking on the "Add new event" button.

-        line of every email generated by this event.  In addition to setting a 
-        subject, space is provided to enter some descriptive text that will be

-      <title>Whining Schedule</title>
-
-      <para>
-         Each whining event is associated with zero or more schedules.  A 
-         schedule is used to specify when the query (specified below) is to be
-         run.  A new event starts out with no schedules (which means it will 
-         never run, as it is not scheduled to run).  To add a schedule, press
-         the "Add a new schedule" button.
-      </para>
-
-      <para>
-         Each schedule includes an interval, which you use to tell Bugzilla 
-         when the event should be run.  An event can be run on certain days of
-         the week, certain days of the month, during weekdays (defined as 
-         Monday through Friday), or every day.

-          Be careful if you set your event to run on the 29th, 30th, or 31st of
-          the month, as your event may not run exactly when expected.  If you 
-          want your event to run on the last day of the month, select "Last day
-          of the month" as the interval.

-      <para>
-        Once you have specified the day(s) on which the event is to be run, you

-        divisible by seven, you would need to add four schedules to the event,

-        your query.
-      </para>
-
