In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.1) of Wed Sep 21 1994 on europa

If I say   cd man; make dvi

it eventually fails with a diagnostic like this

	! Undefined control sequence.
	l.1582 (setq user-mail-address "coon@yoyodyne
						     .com")

I'm far from expert in this stuff, but I think that the line in man/custom.texi
that says

	(setq user-mail-address "coon@yoyodyne.com")

should say something like

	(setq user-mail-address "coon\@yoyodyne.com")

so that the @ is not taken as beginning a command.
