Apparently the situation is the reverse on MS-Windows and Macs: mail from Emacs often doesn't work, and simply punting to the system's mailto: handler is a better guess. > So report-emacs-bug tries to determine whether Emacs can send mail, and > if it can't, it tries to open a browser, in the hope that it knows how > to send mail? In what situations does this occur? Not really, more like by default it doesn't even try on Windows and Macs. Check the conditions in which send-mail-function defaults to mailclient-send-it. I suggest you copy those conditions to the default setting of browse-url-browser-function.
