 1) Anyone can define any valid usertag they like.  In contrast, only a
 limited, predefined set of normal tags are available (see above).

 *** Setting usertags
 
 a) In a control message:
 
-user address@hidden
+user emacs      # or address@hidden
 usertags 1234 any-tag-you-like
 
 This will add a usertag "any-tag-you-like" to bug 1234.  The tag will
-be associated with the address "address@hidden".  If you omit
-the first line, the tag will be associated with your email address.
+be associated with the user "emacs".  If you omit the first line,
+the tag will be associated with your email address.
 
 The syntax of the usertags command is the same as that of tags (eg wrt
 the optional [=+-] argument).
 
 b) In an initial submission, in the pseudo-header:
 
-User: address@hidden
+User: emacs
 Usertags: a-new-tag
 
 Again, the "User" is optional.

 This works just like a normal tags search, but with the addition of a

 Eg when bad replies create a bunch of new bugs for the same report.
