Please, fix/improve your email client UI. All bugzilla emails
contain all necessary information in email header:

  for example:

        X-Bugzilla-Reason: CC AssignedTo
        X-Bugzilla-Type: new
        X-Bugzilla-Watch-Reason: None
        X-Bugzilla-Classification: Fedora
        X-Bugzilla-Product: Fedora
        X-Bugzilla-Component: util-linux   <----- !
        X-Bugzilla-Version: 20
        X-Bugzilla-Keywords:
        X-Bugzilla-Severity: unspecified
        X-Bugzilla-Who: rolf at rolffokkens.nl
        X-Bugzilla-Status: NEW
        X-Bugzilla-Priority: unspecified
        X-Bugzilla-Assigned-To:

        X-Bugzilla-Target-Milestone: ---
        X-Bugzilla-Changed-Fields: bug_id
        X-Bugzilla-Comment: public
        X-BeenThere: bugzilla at redhat.com
        X-Bugzilla-Reporter:
        X-Bugzilla-URL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/


For example if you use mutt then all you need is to add

    unignore X-Bugzilla-Product X-Bugzilla-Component

to your .muttrc. 

It's pretty common that we don't have component name in BZ summary...
