(argp) Bug report mail address..


Hi,

most (I would say all) GNU utilities report the bug reporting line as
follows:

 Report bugs to <bug-coreutils@gnu.org>.

but argp reports it like this (note the lack of < and >):
 
 Report bugs to bug-hurd@gnu.org.

if argp_program_bug_address is set to "bug-hurd@gnu.org".  But since
it is standard to have < and > around an email address, it is quite
redundant to force the user to add them.

2003-09-16  Alfred M. Szmidt  <ams@kemisten.nu>

	* argp/argp-help.c (_help): Put < and > around
	argp_program_bug_address in "Report bugs to".
	* manual/argp.texi: Updated to reflect the above change.
