Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 15:38:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <41txz9pboj.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)

  (1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
  (2) how to write a useful bug report and what information it needs to have.
  
! You can read the read the Bugs section of the manual from inside Emacs.
! Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info, then m Emacs RET to get to the
! Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET to get to the section on bugs.
! Or you can use the standalone Info program in a like manner.
  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution, not part of the
  Emacs distribution.)
