I was prompted by a buffer named *Warnings* to send an email to emacs-orgmode@gnu.org. This buffer appears seemingly at random every few days or so (I use Emacs and Org mode for about eight hours a day). The warnings began after I upgraded to Org 9.6.3. Find the contents of that buffer below. Thank you for the work on Org mode, which is magnificent and without peer.
