Way to prepare a bugreport for pasting into a non-emacs mailclient?

Way to prepare a bugreport for pasting into a non-emacs mailclient?

[Friedrich Delgado Friedrichs]

Hi!

I was just wondering, every time I tried org-submit-bug-report, it
fails after asking the initial questions, because I don't have mh
installed (nor do I intend to install it and e-mh or any other emacs
based mail client).

Is there an obvious way to just prepare the text for a bugreport, so that
I can paste the relevant information (e.g. changed org variables) into
a buffer for sending it via mutt? Maybe I'm missing something here.

If not, I can refactor the relevant parts of org-submit-bug-report into
an interactive function that I could use. Maybe it would also be useful
for others.

Kind regards
	Friedel

I think you should only set in your .emacs:

(setq user-full-name "  ") 
(setq user-mail-address "  ")
;; Send mail using SMTP 
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server " ")
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) ;; If you use the default mail user agent.
(load-library "smtpmail")

and Emacs will send with its mail program

Well, thanks for your hint!

As it turns out, setting mail-user-agent to ignore has exactly the
same effect, as reporter.el will fallback to smtpmail.

Thanks again!

That at least gives me the opportunity to edit the buffer and then
send it via mutt, because that will store it in the proper archive
folder and do tons of other stuff that I want it to do, which I'd have
to emacs how to do properly, which would be lost work, since I don't
intend to use emacs as a mail program.

I just wanted to send mail with mutt, not with emacs, but mh-e seems
to be the default nowadays if nothing is set, and that one complains
about ~/Mail/draft being a directory (because that's the directory
where mutt stores its drafts, doh!)

No thanks! I do not want to send or read mail with emacs.

Now I just have the problem that I can press C-c C-c accidentally in
the buffer, but there's probably little chance of that happening.
