I sent the letter reproduced below to "bug-g++@ai.mit.edu". First, it
got gatewayed to "gnu.g++.help" and "comp.lang.c++".  That is not what
I wanted. It definitely shouldn't have ended up in either of these
newsgroups. I also don't think it is a good idea to gateway _any_ g++
related traffic to "comp.lang.c++".

Please check your mail aliases, and please forward the message to
the appropriate mailing list.

				Thanks,
					Thomas.
