1.1       root        1: Mailing lists for GNU Emacs:
                      2: 
                      3: Bug reports, fixes for bugs, and suggestions for improvements in GNU
                      4: Emacs should be sent to [email protected] (Internet
                      5: address) or ...!ucbvax!prep.ai.mit.edu!bug-gnu-emacs (Usenet address).
                      6: If you think something is a bug in Emacs, it might be one; or, it
                      7: might be a misunderstanding or even a feature.  Before beginning to
                      8: report bugs, please read the section ``Reporting Emacs Bugs'' toward
                      9: the end of the GNU Emacs reference manual (or the built-in Info system)
                     10: for a discussion of how and when to send in bug reports.
                     11: 
                     12: Do not expect an answer for a bug report, except sometimes in the form
                     13: of a fix for the bug in the next release.  Reporting a bug is done to
                     14: get the bug fixed for everyone.  Likewise, we maintainers fix bugs in
                     15: order to help the entire community.  We see no such duty to aid
                     16: individuals one at a time, such as by sending them individual
                     17: messages, and have no time to do this since we are busy doing things
                     18: for the entire community.  If you want help for yourself in particular,
                     19: you may have to hire someone.  You might find one by looking in the
                     20: the service list (file SERVICE in this directory).
                     21: 
                     22: Anything addressed to the implementers and maintainers of GNU Emacs
                     23: should be sent to those addresses also, NOT to info-gnu-emacs.
                     24: 
                     25: Information and questions addressed to the general user community
                     26: are sent to [email protected] (Internet address)
                     27: or ...!ucbvax!prep.ai.mit.edu!info-gnu-emacs (Usenet address).
                     28: This list forwards onto the newsgroup net.emacs.  Since it is
                     29: a very large list, don't send it anything that is not seriously
                     30: important to many people.
                     31: 
                     32: Most of the time, when you reply to a message sent to info-gnu-emacs,
                     33: the reply should not go to info-gnu-emacs.  But most mailer reading
                     34: programs supply all the recipients of the original as recipients of
                     35: the reply, by default.  Make a point of deleting info-gnu-emacs from the
                     36: list when it does not belong.
                     37: 
                     38: Another list, info-gnu, is used for reports of progress in the
                     39: GNU project in general, and for requests for people to do work.
                     40: 
                     41: Send messages ABOUT these lists, such as reports of mail problems, or
                     42: requests to be added or removed, to info-gnu-emacs-request (or
                     43: info-gnu-request, or bug-gnu-emacs-request), NOT to info-gnu-emacs or
                     44: bug-gnu-emacs.  info-gnu-emacs-request goes only to the people who can
                     45: do something about these things, and thus avoids disturbing everyone
                     46: else.
