actually, nobody should advertize that e-mail (but maybe those
at ku.dk, when they talk about it inside DK),
but rather [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
The advantage of the latter is its "genericity" and the fact
that mails are filtered a bit more.

Note that we (well, primarily Peter Dalgaard) have considered
complete changes to the R-bugs "system" anyway some of which
would obliterate the e-mail interface completely IIRC.

I've fixed that one --- haven't checked for how many months this
has remained unreported....
Thank you, Marc!
