I > don't have Outlook set up to even try what you describe. (Perhaps this really belongs in the bug #5299 thread?) I have no idea what problems you had previously, or what caused the recent problem. But I can (and do) use `M-x report-emacs-bug' fine with Emacs releases 22 and 23 (and with pretests, before I reported the bug). It works fine in those releases (still). My mail client is Outlook, but I don't know if your mail client has anything to do with your problems using `M-x report-emacs-bug'. Something was changed since the Emacs 23.1 release, so that this became broken. It _is_ a regression, at least for my use case with an external mail client (Outlook). If it never worked for you, that's unfortunate, but that does not mean that it never worked. I don't think (but I don't know) that whatever enabled `report-emacs-bug' to work previously was Outlook-specific. It might have been something Windows-specific (dunno). It might have been something specific for use with an external mail client (any external client) - dunno. But I doubt that it was something Outlook-specific.
