There is no configuration option for this, so you would have to write a plugin (read the Developer Guide for more details) or you would have to change original source code for it.

Thanks sir, for your reply. As you said I have to make changes in the source code. Please guide me to achieve this by modifying the source code.
1. Which files I do have to make changes?
2. What code to be modified by what?

Thanks

It's better to write a plugin instead of changing existing code, as this will make it easier when upgrading Mantis to newer version.
As I said, read the Developers Guide before starting to write a plugin and have a look at existing plugins to get an impression of plugin development http://mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/manti ... gins:start
