appear. Use this to send me an e-mail directly, which will contain relevant
system information and a log of the error. This is the best method to report
errors. Please fill in as much detail about what you were doing so that I can
reproduce the error.
Giving your e-mail address will allow me to get back in touch with you to follow
up on the bug, and to confirm a fix.

which will bring up a dialog. Please enter an e-mail address so I can reply
