There doesn't seem to be an online HTML version of this manual, so the
bug doesn't appear actionable.

It works when using 'info', provided the 'emacs-debbugs' package is
installed.

I noticed the broken html link before but never tracked down the correct
link to patch it. But just now a search gave me

This doesn't look like an 'official' doc to me, but if we'd like to use
it, we'd have to tune the doc/htmlxref.cnf file content. Would you like
to give it a try?

Hi Maxim,

Yes, reviving an old one as I try to close some (of my too many) browser
tabs.

What do you mean not "official" exactly? This is listed as one of 2
links for the manual from the homepage of the debbugs package
package/library I guess, the second for the "user guide").

I have to admit not knowing about that file until you had mentioned it
and not sure where to start. Any quick pointers or examples of this? Or
do I just add a debbugs entry under emacs where it is set to that link?

(There was a patch from Vincent Legoll that was lost as it was only sent
to the bug number, which goes nowhere:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66703#5 This just removes the reference
though. Adding to the CC here.)

For future reference, related issues:

Thanks!

Yes, I did not use the tool (mumi CLI ?) to reply, so I just sent to the
bug number
hoping it would reach the interested people. I think an easy CC list that
you can
copy/paste would be a nice UI feature for mumi web.

Yep, not knowing what was wanted/useful I just went for the simple Occam
fix.

Thanks for reviving the issue !

Perhaps it was added later to mumi, but I'm pretty sure it now adds
X-Debbugs-CC custom email headers with all the participants in the
thread of the bug, at least it does for 'mumi send-email' (I just tried
it to send a patch to an older issue thread).

Yes, I too am expecting mumi CLI to DTRT, but for the mumi web users,
the equivalent CC list that you can easily cutnpaste would be nice. That's
what I meant, the mumi web should strive to have similar features from
the CLI when it's not too hard, IMHO...
