What problem are you trying to solve? If you want to link to a web site, why would you want to bury that link in an attachment and link to the attachment, instead of just linking directly to the site?

Again, look at its history. Every comment sounds like it’s written by GPT. And it keeps talking about email marketing out of context. And it’s not participating in any communities, it’s just spamming comments randomly to farm karma. And, look, 3.2k comment karma on an 8-day-old account. Does that really seem legit to you?

Look at the account’s history. It’s some kind of GPT bot.

These should be functions instead of macros.

As well, being that simple, they shouldn’t generally exist at all. Rather, the dolist forms should just be inlined. (This is probably the usual case of a user who just learned about macros and is excited to use them, and so overuses them. We’ve all been there. :)

Shame on every user who downvoted the parent comment. Zero-effort questions like this are akin to panhandling, i.e. “To accost people in a public place and ask for [links to easily searched-for web pages]”–to refuse to help oneself and lazily demand to be spoon-fed by others.

As the guide says, “Community standards do not maintain themselves: They’re maintained by people actively applying them, visibly, in public. … There have been hacker forums where, out of some misguided sense of hyper-courtesy, participants are banned from posting any fault-finding with another’s posts, and told “Don’t say anything if you’re unwilling to help the user.” The resulting departure of clueful participants to elsewhere causes them to descend into meaningless babble and become useless as technical forums.”

Probably not what you want to do, but IIUC you could run Emacs from Cygwin and it wouldn’t have that problem.

A. Upgrade all the upgradable packages.

B. Downgrade to a known-good set of packages.

C. File a bug report (but only after trying A).

Those are your choices.

loop also has other conveniences like upto, downto, by, collect, concat, with VAR = FOO then BAR, etc.

can someone help or give me some YT videos to watch to have a good idea about emacs ?

I hesitate to be the curmudgeon here, but if you can’t–or won’t–bother to visit youtube.com and type “emacs” into the search box, then you probably won’t enjoy using Emacs. Emacs is most appreciated by people who take a bit of initiative.
