Hi,

in the past, when giving people advice about Emacs on Emacs-related
mailing lists, I have frequently quoted passages of the Emacs manual (in
formatted form).  I have just now bothered to check its license again,
and clearly I violated pretty much all provisions of the GFDL while
doing so.

Since giving advice in mail or Usenet groups is a frequent occurence,
could we have a ready-built function that inserts all relevant copyright
notices, lists of invariant sections and other things required by the
GFDL around quotes of manual text?

It would be counterproductive if one could not both easily and legally
quote manual sections to people asking for advice.

Thanks
