[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

(Excuse me for my bad English :-) )

Emacs says that I can "Type C-c TAB to visit in Info the Emacs Manual section
about when and how to write a bug report", but when I press C-c TAB — it says "C-c TAB is undefined". Please see at attached screenshot.

Emacs version       : GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2009-07-31
.emacs              : none
X keyboard layout   : us

Hi Sergey,

Thanks for the bug report. Typing C-c TAB is supposed to work when you
are writing the bug report. Didn't it work for you then?


I think that we could make this more clear. I have some suggestions
for enhancing this in Emacs:

- Go back to the window configuration used before the bug report after
it is sent.
- Kill the buffer showing "Typing C-c TAB" etc.
- Make the help for bug reporting available in the Help menu. Simply
make the entry for bug reporting there open a submenu with two
entries, one for reporting bugs and one for opening this part in Info.

I agree that it is important that this information is as accurate as
possible. Especially since using mail from Emacs is probably not that
common for new users.

I have clarified the help message to make it clear that the C-c TAB
binding applies to the mail buffer.  Thanks for the bug report.
