 @cindex Reporting bugs
 
-The correct way to report Emacs bugs is to use the command
-@kbd{M-x report-emacs-bug}.  It sets up a mail buffer with the
-essential information and the correct e-mail address,
-@email{bug-gnu-emacs@@gnu.org}.
-Anything sent there also appears in the
-newsgroup @uref{news:gnu.emacs.bug}, but please use e-mail instead of
-news to submit the bug report.  This ensures a reliable return address
-so you can be contacted for further details.

-Be sure to read the ``Bugs'' section of the Emacs manual before reporting
-a bug!  The manual describes in detail how to submit a useful bug
-report (@pxref{Bugs, , Reporting Bugs, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).

 of people, most of whom are just users and have no idea how to fix
 these problem.
