@ -37,17 +37,21 @@ Do NOT send a separate copy to the bug list, since this may generate a
new report. The only time to send mail to the bug list is to create a
new report.
Gnus users can add "\\(\\(emacs-pretest-bug\\|bug-gnu-emacs\\)@gnu\\.org\\|\
\\(submit\\|control\\)@emacsbugs\\.donarmstrong\\.com\\)"
to message-dont-reply-to-names.
Gnus users can add the following to message-dont-reply-to-names;
similarly with Rmail and rmail-dont-reply-to-names:
Similarly, RMAIL users can use rmail-dont-reply-to-names. They might
also need to ignore "bug-submit-list@donarmstrong.com" since it
appears in the "Resent-To" header of reports, and for a long time
RMAIL erroneously included this address in replies. Likewise for
"owner@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com", which can appear in the
"Resent-CC:" header (but it is possible, outside of normal bug
reporting, that you might want to have a dialog with this address).
"\\(emacs-pretest-bug\\|bug-gnu-emacs\\)@gnu\\.org\\|\
\\(\\(submit\\|control\\|owner\\)@emacsbugs\\.\\|bug-submit-list@\\)\
donarmstrong\\.com"
The "bug-submit-list@donarmstrong.com" and
"owner@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com" entries are there because they can
appear in the "Resent-To" and "Resent-CC" headers, respectively. For a
long time Rmail erroneously included these headers in replies. If you
correspond with an Rmail user on a bug, these addresses may end up in
the Cc. Mailing to them does nothing but create duplicates and errors.
(It is possible you might want to have a dialog with the owner
address, outside of normal bug reporting.)
** When reporting a bug, to send a Cc to another address
(e.g. bug-cc-mode@gnu.org), do NOT just use a Cc: header.
@ -228,3 +232,9 @@ The above page is accessible from the "Options" section at the end of
the "main list of bugs" page. Select bugs "in package" = emacs;
"newest bugs" = 100. (I have no idea how you get to that Options
section without having to go through the bug list page first...)
** Mails to the bug tracker disappear
Apparently it has some kind of spam filter that sometimes silently
discards valid mails. Adding a subject (pointless in control messages)
may help.
