[petsc-dev] adding Report Typo and Errors link to manual pages

[Nystrom, William D]

And I often use xemacs vm for my email client.

I wonder if the form submission would be more robust.  Many users might just
punt on submitting the typo/error info if they have to go configure something
on their system.

I supporse each web browser has its own procedure for configuring the default mail client.

firefox provides the following doc to setup the default e-mail client.

But I guess - it doesn't support my prefered mail clinet: alpine.
