The correct way to report Emacs bugs is to use the command
@kbd{M-x report-emacs-bug}. It sets up a mail buffer with the
-essential information and the correct e-mail address, which is
-@email{bug-gnu-emacs@@gnu.org} for the released versions of Emacs.
-Anything sent to @email{bug-gnu-emacs@@gnu.org} also appears in the
+essential information and the correct e-mail address,
+@email{bug-gnu-emacs@@gnu.org}.
+Anything sent there also appears in the
newsgroup @uref{news:gnu.emacs.bug}, but please use e-mail instead of
news to submit the bug report. This ensures a reliable return address
so you can be contacted for further details.
