[Rd] R CMD check and error in an \Sexpr in an Rd file

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

Martin,

I am pretty sure (but I will probably be proven wrong) that when
r-announce was created it was stated that every email got sent to both
r-help and r-devel, and I see I have received emails from r-announce
in the past despite only being subscribed to r-devel and not r-help.
For example, I can find the announcement of R-2.13.0 (posted by P
Dalgaard) (and many earlier versions), but not R-2.13.1.  While I am
pretty sure I have only subscribed to r-help for a brief period many
years ago, I did switch my r-devel subscription from one email address
to another.

I infer from your email that r-announce emails are no longer sent to
r-devel subscribers (which is consistent with the text on
  https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-announce
).

Kasper
