Easiest one to fix: (info)Help-M which is used in the tutorial, *only* describes menus as they appear in the standalone info, not as they appear in the emacs version and the two are very different. Would you please tell me the specific differences? I scanned through that none and did not notice anything incorrect. 5. Last and definitely worst. The user copies part of the info buffer into an emacs mail buffer for somebody elses information. What the receiver receives is not what the sender believes he sent. Granted, the hidden text does not exactly consist of obscenities or such (although I did not yet try to read these node names backward to get all the Satanic messages), but this is still really bad. I am surprised you think this is such a serious issue. Could you provide a test case where it causes a real problem?
