27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; End User Interface
30 ;; ==================
31 ;; The variable `mail-user-agent' contains a symbol indicating which
32 ;; Emacs mail package end users would like to use to compose outgoing
33 ;; mail. See that variable for details (it is no longer defined in
34 ;; this file).
36 ;; Lisp Package Authors
37 ;; ====================
38 ;; reporter.el was written primarily for Emacs Lisp package authors so
39 ;; that their users can more easily report bugs. When invoked,
40 ;; `reporter-submit-bug-report' will set up an outgoing mail buffer
41 ;; with the appropriate bug report address, including a lisp
42 ;; expression the maintainer of the package can evaluate to completely
43 ;; reproduce the environment in which the bug was observed (e.g. by
44 ;; using `eval-last-sexp'). This package proved especially useful
45 ;; during my development of CC Mode, which is highly dependent on its
46 ;; configuration variables.
48 ;; Do a "C-h f reporter-submit-bug-report" for more information.
49 ;; Here's an example usage:
51 ;;(defconst mypkg-version "9.801")
52 ;;(defconst mypkg-maintainer-address "mypkg-help@foo.com")
53 ;;(defun mypkg-submit-bug-report ()
54 ;; "Submit via mail a bug report on mypkg"
55 ;; (interactive)
56 ;; (require 'reporter)
57 ;; (reporter-submit-bug-report
58 ;; mypkg-maintainer-address
59 ;; (concat "mypkg.el " mypkg-version)
60 ;; (list 'mypkg-variable-1
61 ;; 'mypkg-variable-2
62 ;; ;; ...
63 ;; 'mypkg-variable-last)))

76 string.
78 Default behavior is to not prompt (i.e. nil). If you want reporter to
79 prompt, you should `let' bind this variable before calling
80 `reporter-submit-bug-report'. Note that this variable is not
81 buffer-local so you should never just `setq' it.")

87 buffer, it normally is compacted so that its value fits one the fewest
88 number of lines. If the variable's symbol appears in this list, its
89 value is printed in a more verbose style, specifically, one elemental
90 sexp per line.
92 Note that this variable is not buffer-local so you should never just
93 `setq' it. If you want to changes its default value, you should `let'
