It could ask, "Should Emacs insert information on your recent editing into the bug report? (If you say yes, you will be able to delete any parts of that text from the mail buffer.)" If the user says yes to this, it should insert all the data we would find useful. If no, then none of it. This should be enough to protect the user anyone from leaking anything private. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
