 ;;; Bug Reference mode support
 
+;; Due to mu4e's view buffer handling (mu4e-view-mode is called long before the
+;; actual mail text is inserted into the buffer), one should activate
+;; bug-reference-mode in mu4e-after-view-message-hook, not mu4e-view-mode-hook.
+
 ;; This is Emacs 28 stuff but there is no need to guard it with some (f)boundp
 ;; checks (which would return nil if bug-reference.el is not loaded before
 ;; mu4e) since the function definition doesn't hurt and `add-hook' works fine
 ;; for not yet defined variables (by creating them).
