;; `M-x report-emacs-bug' starts an email note to the Emacs maintainers
;; describing a problem. You need to be able to send mail from Emacs
;; to complete the process. Alternatively, compose the bug report in
;; Emacs then paste it into your normal mail client.
;; `M-x submit-emacs-patch' can be used to send a patch to the Emacs
;; maintainers.
