asking for obfs3 by https doesn't tell you how to ask for obfs3 by gmail

On https://bridges.torproject.org/?transport=obfs3 it says """ Another way to find public bridge addresses is to send mail to bridges@torproject.org with the line "get bridges" by itself in the body of the mail. """

Shouldn't it be telling me how to ask bridges@torproject.org for obfs3 bridges?

Good idea. In general, the BridgeDB UI and strings need lots of love. CCing aagbsn.

So I think a combination of #7550 (moved) and #9127 (moved) should help to solve this. #7550 (moved) will provide an interactive interface for the email responder which will detail the available commands (including how to specify specific transports). #9127 (moved) will provide the ability to "customize" the query on the web interface and maybe we can add a "receive similar bridges via email by doing the following..." message based on the selected criteria.

Marking as needs more info until we know what gaps remain after these tickets are closed.

Because #7550 (moved) was fixed (see #5463 (moved) for discussion), the email distributor is now smart about whether to be interactive, and if your first email didn't make sense, it'll respond with some help text about how to interact with it.

Closing as fixed, since I'm not willing to have each distributor tell you about all the other commands and options in all the other distributors. It should be up to each distributor to decide how to best interact with a client.
