Well, funnily, while translating this new template, I missed the concern raised by Manoj but, indeed, I agree with it. It may sound very weird, especially in a situation where the question pops up during an install. > ====================================================================== > Normally, popularity contest survey data is reported by sending > email as root to [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, if email has not > been set up, or if sending mail from this box has problems (like > being on a dial up network, or if connecting from a location > where outgoing email is prohibited), an alternate mechanism has > been provided that uses HTTP put to fill a form at > http:///popcon.foo.debian.org/instead.

This is probably a little bit verbose and may make translators life quite hard to keep this fitted on one screen. Maybe shorten this down by removing the example cases. Something like: Normally, popularity contest survey data is reported by sending email as root to the popularity contest server. However, in some situations, an alternate mechanism may be needed or wished. . For that reason, an "HTTP" mechanism is available which is likely to work in most situations, since most firewalls aloow HTTP connections. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
