I just sent in a bug report using sendbug, and now I'm going
to report a sendbug bug.
I have
EDITOR=/usr/athena/emacsclient
VISUAL=/usr/athena/emacsclient
and I have server-start in my .emacs file. Please explain to
me why sendbug started up another copy of emacs instead of
using the one I already had running.
Because sendbug uses mh, which doesn't use EDITOR or VISUAL. This is
an already-reported bug; want to write a new version of sendbug that
doesn't use mh?
Also please explain why "sendbug" doesn't have a man page.
Because sendbug was a kludge that should have been rewritten and never
was.
If you're interested in fixing it, see changes.73 No. 211 and
changes.73 No. 777.
