I'm afraid there's a little misunderstanding, here. I believe Richard
is not opposed to this message going to bug-gnu-emacs. It was Drew Adams
who complained about it. I think Drew's complaint is that the message is
out-of-context because I didn't include any References: or
In-Reply-To: header. So he's not opposed to seeing those messages
either, he was just annoyed at this particular one being useless.
