But that reply apparently never > affected the bug status. The bug tracking system is not a full featured natural language processing system, nor has it attained sentience. Someone has to mark a bug as not being fixed. You can do this using the control interface to the bug reporting system, as I have done with this email. Otherwise, the human beings reading the mail has to do it. > Whatever the correct diagnosis of the tracker status and problems > might be, bug #119 has not been fixed, and it does not appear among > the Outstanding bugs. So instead of filing more bugs, reopen the original bug with more information. See http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/server-control for more information.
