report-emacs-bug / e-mail setup

[David Reitter]

I was wondering if there is interest in a revised report-emacs-bug  
function.

The current function seems to depend on the mail system being set up.

I found that users of the Aquamacs distribution (Mac OS X users)  
frequently do not use Emacs for mail. Their bug reports get  
swallowed, and people get no error message.

So what we do in Aquamacs is to leave it to the system setup what  
mail application the user wants to use. The complete text (as before)  
is composed automatically, and then the user's preferred mail  
handling application takes care of editing / sending. This works very  
well not only on OS X, but also on my KDE installation under GNU/ 
Linux. Besides, it tends to do a better job at respecting the user's  
mail setup.

If there is interest, I can put a patch together for people to discuss.
