We eventually get around to reading them, but nobody is tracking those on a daily basis. crashes is ancient usage (and was intended to be for actual crashes, not for general bugs); I'm about to remove references to it from the FAQ and PROBLEMS. It's suboptimal to send to xemacs(a)xemacs.org (currently the default for 21.4 and 21.1), but there's a pretty good chance that someone will pick up on it there. So the best of a bad lot is to accept the default given by M-x report-emacs-bug. We recognize the current lack of a formal BTS is bad, and we're working on it. This means that the appropriate address is subject to change at any time. So use M-x report-emacs-bug, and keep your `net-utils' package up to date with M-x list-packages. N.B. M-x report-emacs-bug uses the `compose-mail' interface. If you use an Emacs-based MUA, you can probably use that one by Customizing `mail-user-agent'. Available user agents I know are vm-user-agent (my recommendation if you normally use a non-Emacs MUA) message-user-agent (the familiar Gnus message.el user agent) sendmail-user-agent (the totally bland default) mh-e-user-agent (for MH-E) If you know of others, drop a line to me <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt;. If you use an MUA not listed above, it's easy to create a compose-mail user agent. You just need to set a few properties on a symbol. See docs for `compose-mail', `mail-user-agent', and the source M-x find-library RET simple RET. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
