Yes, Dave, MH is hardcoded into the sendbug program.  There is emacs
lisp code for sendbug which I use (this is the same as jik's.)  Look at
~ckclark/elisp/rmail-athbug.el.  Load it in and do a:

M-x rmail-ATHENABUG

Then type in the info and do a C-c C-c when you are done
to send the bug.

I recommend using this instead the sendbug program for users who have been
weaned off MH.  I have forwarded this to bugs so that anyone else who
has been having similar problems will know the alternative.

If you don't use MH, you really don't want to use `sendbug,' becuause it
uses `whatnow' to send the message.  `Whatnow' is an MH utility which,
like all other MH utilities, will stomp all over your homedir without
asking.
