Thanks. Yes, it was a mistake (didn't realize it would create two bug reports).

FYI, this was due to these two things:

1. You have stopped posting Windows binaries.

2. The regression (bug #5299) in `report-emacs-bug' on Windows. (This was
reported in a previous pretest.)

Because of these two changes, I had to compose my mail by hand and use a build
from Lennart. That build does not use `emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org' as the
destination; it uses `bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org'. And I wasn't (still am not) sure
which address to use. So I used both, so you would understand/notice that the
bug is for the latest development code.

Between no longer providing Windows binaries and breaking `report-emacs-bug',
you certainly have made it harder for ordinary Emacs users (on Windows) to
communicate about bugs.

Which address is correct, or doesn't it matter? Thx.
