I did not submit my suggestion through "donarmstrong.com".
(Although as one of the mailing list maintainers, I am well aware that
all bug-emacs mail is going through there now.)

I am surprised to be getting a reply from it.
It is redundant and (for me) unwanted.
Can it be configured to not do this except when people actually initiate
the request through the system, or something?

OK, I've made a not to do that.

emacs-22.3.tar.gz is       39587396 bytes.
Compressed with lzma, it's 26752360 bytes.
(I didn't check bzip2, presumably it's somewhere in between.)

That could be a lot of download bandwidth saved.  How about making it
available both ways, at least for next time?  (= install lzma-utils from
http://tukaani.org/lzma/download and add dist-lzma to the automake
options.)

Best,
karl

X-Debbugs-No-Ack: yes

can help in shutting it up a bit, but I'm not aware of any way to not
get mail when a bug one opened is closed. (That doesn't seem too
unreasonable.)

Good luck effecting any changes. :(

Oh, I also use a procmail rule that would work for you:

:0

/dev/null

(while waiting for bug #749)

I think it is time to close this. I think it is reasonable that people
get notifications when their reports are closed, and there does not need
to be an "opt out" mechanism for this.

Hope the close message you get because of this is not too annoying! :)
