Then your bug reports will become valuable. I'm sorry to pound on this, I don't want to blame you personally for the shortcomings of the software, but these reports are next to worthless.
We need to fix the "please report bug to ..." messages so that they refer to some document which says what you said.
[1] http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.htmlBy the way, why is there so much spam on this list?Well, because people post unnecessary bug reports for old software. Oh, you meant the other stuff. That's because of GNU policy of not requiring a subscription for posts to bug lists. No, it does not help to discuss this on this list. I think there are special GNU discussion lists for the mailing list handling, where the people listen that can change this.
There is a new form of spam. Let's call it anti-spam. Anti-spam is generated by mailing list managers which bounce "moderator" messages to the "sender" so that a claimed sending address receives hundreds of messages regarding emails he never sent. Unfortunately, spam is easier to filter out than anti-spam.
