Hi,
I set out to report a bug in Emacs, as written in
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/documentation.html: by using
M-x report-emacs-bug. I filled in the text, then did C-c C-c to send it.
It told me to choose among
mail client
and
smtp.
Since I don't have SMTP on my machine (I use kmail, which is configured
to use an IMAP account somewhere), I typed 'mail client'.
The result:
* It opened a kmail window (good).
* The "From" email address that I had entered was lost (which is
understandable, since kmail supports only predefined email addresses
for outgoing mail), and not dramatic (easy to correct).
* It filled the subject line and the mail body with text, with many
URI-encoded characters. (See attached screenshot.)
* When I sent this mail, the debbugs filter did not restore the original
mail body, by unescaping. You can see the result at
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=28930
Fortunately, Emacs saved a copy of the buffer in a file (~/*message*-<date>),
so that I could easily compose the mail in the mailer again. This led to
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=28931
It could be that this is a bug in kmail. If so, please redirect to
https://bugs.kde.org/.
