bug#8777: 23.3; cannot send bug reports in latest Window build

[Drew Adams]

So I'm sending this from a 23.3 release build (emacs -Q).
But here is the report, with the version info from the latest build:
 
After filling out a bug description and hitting C-c C-c I get this
message:
 
Is
`dradams@MYMACHINENAME.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me'
really your email address? (yes or no)
 
Seems this gets broken periodically now...

And if you respond "no" and then fix the FROM address to something
sensible, what happens then?

On my machine, up comes Outlook and I can paste the message and send
it.

If the complaint is that with send-mail-function being
mailclient-send-it, Emacs should not bitch at you about the bogus FROM
address, then please say so explicitly.  You just got me looking for a
non-existent problem in 2 different builds, before I realized that you
never said you couldn't send the message.

If you cannot send the message through your mail client even after you
fix the FROM header, then I cannot reproduce the problem here (with 2
builds, one from today, the other from May 29).

Same here.  The bug is apparently posing that question instead of just doing the
right thing (as before).
