What is the difference between your report-emacs-bug-internally function and the standard report-emacs-bug function? Is it just that some of the code has been moved into a subroutine report-emacs-bug-print-debug-log? That change would be fine to install, and that might greatly reduce the amount of change.
Yes, that's right. The code has been refactored into the two subroutines report-emacs-bug-print-preamble and report-emacs-bug-print-debug-log.
However, instead of adding this feature to emacsbug.el, can you make sendmail.el send mail "externally" as an option? That would be much cleaner, wouldn't it? And it would do more good.
I thought about this, but the thing is: the external bug reporting facility will run the mail client and cause it to start a new message editor. If we changed sendmail.el, we would present users with the internal editor first (for bug-reporting), then show them the same e- mail again in their external editor. That'd be confusing.
Yet, one could augment compose-mail to start the external agent. But I assume such changes would have knock-on effects that would be best considered after the release. Right?
I'm attaching the (revised) fix as a patch to emacsbug.el.
emacsbug-patch.el
