1. Thank you

2. I put an extract from my Emacs Info Manual at the end of this
message. (emacs-version)  delivers
"GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0)
 of 2009-09-27 on palmer, modified by Debian"

3. I have done that (bug#7687) - I read the chapter 'sending
patches' :-)

60.4 Sending Patches for GNU Emacs ==================================

If you would like to write bug fixes or improvements for GNU Emacs,
that is very helpful.  When you send your changes, please follow these
guidelines to make it easy for the maintainers to use them.  If you
don't follow these guidelines, your information might still be useful,
but using it will take extra work.  Maintaining GNU Emacs is a lot of
work in the best of circumstances, and we can't keep up unless you do
your best to help.

   * Send an explanation with your changes of what problem they fix or
     what improvement they bring about.  For a bug fix, just include a
     copy of the bug report, and explain why the change fixes the bug.

     (Referring to a bug report is not as good as including it,
because
     then we will have to look it up, and we have probably already
     deleted it if we've already fixed the bug.)
