23.0.60; emacs-report-bug fails silently

[Florian Beck <abstraktion@t-online.de>]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

If I send a bug with 

emacs -Q
M-x report-emacs-bug

emacs trys to use sendmail-user-agent by default.

This doesn't work, which is no surprise because I haven't even installed
sendmail.

What *is* a problem is that there is no indication that sending the
message failed. Emacs even displays Sending…done.

if I wouldn't read emacs-pretest-bug, I'd never known by bug report was
not delivered.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
