Yes, thanks, but it could be more helpful. The reply I got merely said:


    From: don at donarmstrong.com (Emacs bug Tracking System)
    To: Glenn Morris <rgm at gnu.org>
    Subject: Unknown problem report bug#3 (test)

    Contact don <at> donarmstrong.com with problems


The body could say something helpful like:


Bug#3 not found. Perhaps you mistyped, or this bug has been archived?


The link in the signature is also unhelpful, since it seems that
bug -NNN just resolves to bug +NNN.
