27 ;; End User Interface
28 ;; ==================
29 ;; The variable `mail-user-agent' contains a symbol indicating which
30 ;; Emacs mail package end users would like to use to compose outgoing
31 ;; mail. See that variable for details (it is no longer defined in
32 ;; this file).
34 ;; Lisp Package Authors
35 ;; ====================
36 ;; reporter.el was written primarily for Emacs Lisp package authors so
37 ;; that their users can more easily report bugs. When invoked,
38 ;; `reporter-submit-bug-report' will set up an outgoing mail buffer
39 ;; with the appropriate bug report address, including a lisp
40 ;; expression the maintainer of the package can evaluate to completely
41 ;; reproduce the environment in which the bug was observed (e.g. by
42 ;; using `eval-last-sexp'). This package proved especially useful
43 ;; during my development of CC Mode, which is highly dependent on its
44 ;; configuration variables.
46 ;; Do a "C-h f reporter-submit-bug-report" for more information.
47 ;; Here's an example usage:
49 ;;(defconst mypkg-version "9.801")
50 ;;(defconst mypkg-maintainer-address "mypkg-help@foo.com")
51 ;;(defun mypkg-submit-bug-report ()
52 ;; "Submit via mail a bug report on mypkg"
53 ;; (interactive)
54 ;; (require 'reporter)
55 ;; (reporter-submit-bug-report
56 ;; mypkg-maintainer-address
57 ;; (concat "mypkg.el " mypkg-version)
58 ;; (list 'mypkg-variable-1
59 ;; 'mypkg-variable-2
60 ;; ;; ...
61 ;; 'mypkg-variable-last)))

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

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