Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug:If I send a bug withemacs -Q M-x report-emacs-bug emacs trys to use sendmail-user-agent by default. This doesn't work, which is no surprise because I haven't even installed sendmail. What *is* a problem is that there is no indication that sending the message failed. Emacs even displays Sending…done. if I wouldn't read emacs-pretest-bug, I'd never known by bug report was not delivered.Is not this similar to the situation we had before on w32? The solution to that was mailclient-send-it in mailclient.el.No, this happens on Ubuntu and probably on many gnu-linux-systems that do not install sendmail by default. I'm sorry, I forgot the system information. (see below) Also, I'm not looking for a workaround. (After I set mail-user-agent to gnus-user-agent everything is fine.) I'm reporting that on systems without sendmail bug reports likely disappear without trace.
What I meant is that we should not require users to use any special mail agent to send bug reports. If they just have a system mail client set up it should work by using that.
Perhaps you did not have a system mail client set up?
