Please check that the From: line contains a valid email address. After a delay of up to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address. Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators for other languages. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe starting from `emacs -Q': I typed C-b R TAB, not noticing I was already in RMAIL, and it completed to ` *message-viewer RMAIL*'. This is totally surprising and unhelpful. I created a buffer called faUlt and found that U TAB completes to faUlt. This sort of thing will only confuse people When in the *mail* buffer, I found that C-x b *ma TAB offered me *Shell Command Output* les-luthiers.xmail maintainers.bypkg rmail.el summary and did not mention *mail* at all. That is confusing and unhelpful too, for it to offer buffers that did not have the *'s. I surmise it is treating the input as a wildcard pattern. I think that is a misguided feature. The *'s should be treated literally. And the current buffer should not be excluded from a completion list, when a completion list is displayed. If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
