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).

21 ** How to avoid multiple copies of mails.
|
|
22 When you reply to a bug, respect the Reply-To address, ie send mail
|
|
23 only to the submitter address and the numbered bug address. Do not
|
|
24 send mail direct to bug-gnu-emacs or emacs-pretest-bug unless you are
|
|
25 reporting a new bug.
|
|
26
|
95505
|
27 ** To close bug #123 (for example), send mail
|
95486
|
28
|
95505
|
29 To: 123-done@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com
|
95445
|
30
|
|
31 with a brief explanation in the body as to why the bug was closed.
|
|
32
|
|
33
|
95505
|
34 ** To reopen a closed bug #123:
|
|
35
|
|
36 To: control@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com
|
|

|
|
38 reopen 123
