;;; Commentary:
;; `M-x report-emacs-bug' starts an email note to the Emacs maintainers
-;; describing a problem. Here's how it's done...
+;; 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.
;;; Code:
-;; >> This should be an address which is accessible to your machine,
-;; >> otherwise you can't use this file. It will only work on the
-;; >> internet with this address.
