8 ** When reporting a bug, to send a Cc to another address (e.g.
|
|
|
9 bug-cc-mode@gnu.org), do not just use a Cc: header.
|
|
95486
|
10 Instead, use "X-Debbugs-CC:". This ensures the Cc address will get a
|
|
|
11 mail with the bug report number in.
|
|
|
12
|
|
95505
|
13 ** To not get acknowledgement mail from the tracker,
|
|
|
14 add an "X-Debbugs-No-Ack:" header (with any value).
|
|

|
15
|

|
16 ** Not interested in tracker control messages (tags being set, etc)?
|
|
|
17 Discard mails matching:
|
|
|
18
|
|
|
19 ^X-Emacs-PR-Message: transcript
|
|
|
20
|
|
96402
|
21 When you close a bug, you get a message matching:
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 ^X-Emacs-PR-Message: closed
|
|
|
24
|
|
96401
|
25 ** How to avoid multiple copies of mails.
|
|
|
26 When you reply to a bug, respect the Reply-To address, ie send mail
|
|
|
27 only to the submitter address and the numbered bug address. Do not
|
|
|
28 send mail direct to bug-gnu-emacs or emacs-pretest-bug unless you are
|
|
|
29 reporting a new bug.
|
|
|

|
|

|
31 ** To close bug #123 (for example), send mail
|
|
95486
|
32
|
|

|

|
|

|
35 with a brief explanation in the body as to why the bug was closed.
|
|
|
