We are going to move all the bugs over with the same bug numbers and
have a basically compatible mail interface at least for submission,
but beyond that I think the old interface will just vanish - I don't
see it being worth the effort to emulate it on top of the Bugzilla
setup.

There is also the ability to save a query which you can select later
from the query screen - I suppose the advantage of this over a
bookmark is:

 - You can use it from machines where you don't have your bookmarks
 - It is perhaps more robust against URL-format changes

But bookmarking should work as well and is certainly faster to get to.
