Sorry for being OT, but I have to correct myself.
Answering a request for CCing to the OP, I wrote:

Someone sent me an objection to this statement via email. And I have
to admit now that I was not quite right. It is, of course, true that
it is better to discuss problems publicly in this forum, provided that
they are not trivial or FAQs.
But this doesn't necessarily exclude sending a CC. It is probably
better to ensure consecutive public discussion (if it turns out that
this is necessary) by setting "Reply-to:" to <help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>
or by requesting explicitly from the OP that he or she sends replies
to this group. After all, if someone asks for a CC, he or she might
have a good reason to do so.
Sorry for the line noise.
