Hello, I noticed a few things about sendbug... it'd be nice if it had a
man page, but that's no big deal. But it ignores the $EDITOR
environment variable if the file $HOME/.mh_profile exits:
(from /usr/athena/sendbug)
if [ -r $HOME/.mh_profile ]; then
comp -form $report_file
rm $report_file
exit 0
fi
The true bug lies in comp, I suppose, which I have had to alias to:
comp -editor $EDITOR
in order to get it to do the right thing. Thus, I would recommend the
following patch for those of us who have .mh_profile files and like
emacsclient:
(in file: /usr/athena/sendbug)
======================================================================
if [ "x$EDITOR" = "x" ]; then
EDITOR=/usr/athena/emacs ; export EDITOR
fi
if [ -r $HOME/.mh_profile ]; then
comp -form $report_file -editor $EDITOR
rm $report_file
exit 0
fi
# not using MH; run the editor, and send, ourselves.
$EDITOR $report_file
exec whatnow $report_file
======================================================================
This seems to handle all cases, so far as I can tell.
thanks!
