   8 ** When reporting a bug, to send a Cc to another address (e.g.
   9 bug-cc-mode@gnu.org), do not just use a Cc: header.
  10 Instead, use "X-Debbugs-CC:". This ensures the Cc address will get a
  11 mail with the bug report number in.
  12
  13 ** To not get acknowledgement mail from the tracker,
  14 add an "X-Debbugs-No-Ack:" header (with any value).

  16 ** To close bug #123 (for example), send mail
  17
