We already let users configure how bug reporting interacts
with their mail environment. Why not provide a user option
that handles this correctly?
Even in `emacs -Q', I should be able to copy+paste non-ASCII
text, assuming my mail client can handle it.
I'm sorry to say it, but your response about this really
sounds like a cop-out. This might not be the most urgent
bug, but I cannot see that this is something that should
be foisted on the user as being her problem (just don't
use `C-c C-c' and instead create a mail-client message
by hand and paste copied non-ASCII text into it manually).
That is not a reasonable answer, IMHO. But whatever.
