Subject: [Rd] Re: bug.report() sends empty message (PR#1158)
Message-ID: <200112101837.TAA01768@pubhealth.ku.dk>

   On Oct 22, I sent an empty bug report (#1138) because bug.report() "ate my
message".  Paul Gilbert opened a new bug report (#1158) for this problem.

   I'm now convinced it's because I had an apostrophe in the subject line
("round() doesn't").  The bug.report documentation specifically warns against
this, but the bug.report() function could also check for it!  I suggest adding
this line to the bug.report code:

  if (regexpr("'", subject) > 0) stop("Please, no apostrophe in the subject.")

                              -- David Brahm (brahm@alum.mit.edu)
