Trying to do `vm-imap-submit-bug-report' resulted in the following error:

The problem is that all the VM variables have been sanitized for the sake of the reporter. We should some other mail user agent to send the bug report.

[Uday Reddy (reddyuday)]

Changed to message-user-agent (the default in Gnu Emacs). There will be no VM-related functions available here. This could be a problem for some people. Wait and see.

Fix committed in rev. 835.1.458 of the 8.2.x branch.

Rob Marshall reports (2012-01-16):

I'm not sure if this is due to the gradual moving over to message mode
and hence a temporary inconsistency or a bug:

If I kill a vm email I get asked if I want to save the message in the
postponed folder (also bound to C-c C-d)
If I kill a vm bug report submission this question doesn't get asked
(you instead get asked if you want to kill a modified buffer) - however
the same C-c C-d binding also maps to something similar - but if you save the
message there it (afaict) isn't visible to vm - I can see it when I run
gnus - as a draft

I lost a bug report earlier today when I thought I'd postpone sending it
and carelessly typed y thinking the question was 'save in postponed'
rather than do you really want to kill this buffer (fortunately the bug
turned out not to be one - that was the reason for the postponment ;-))

[Uday Reddy (reddyuday)]

The problem still persists for vm-imap-submit-bug-report. When it tries to find the session buffers etc., it can't get hold of the account name (lost in the sanitization process).

Fix committed rev. 1511.
