add an "X-Debbugs-No-Ack:" header (with any value). If you use Gnus,

** Setting bug parameters.
There are two ways to set the parameters of bugs in the database
(tags, severity level, etc). When you report a new bug, you can
-provide a "pseudo-header" at the start of the report, eg:

This works just like a normal tags search, but with the addition of a
