;;; Commentary:

;; End User Interface
;; ==================
;; The variable `mail-user-agent' contains a symbol indicating which
;; Emacs mail package end users would like to use to compose outgoing
;; mail.  See that variable for details.

;; Lisp Package Authors
;; ====================
;; Reporter was written primarily for Emacs Lisp package authors so
;; that their users can easily report bugs.  When invoked,
;; reporter-submit-bug-report will set up an outgoing mail buffer with
;; the appropriate bug report address, including a lisp expression the
;; maintainer of the package can eval to completely reproduce the
;; environment in which the bug was observed (e.g. by using
;; eval-last-sexp).  This package proved especially useful during my
;; development of cc-mode, which is highly dependent on its
;; configuration variables.
;;
;; Do a "C-h f reporter-submit-bug-report" for more information.
;; Here's an example usage:
;;
;;(defconst mypkg-version "9.801")
;;(defconst mypkg-maintainer-address "[e-mail]")
;;(defun mypkg-submit-bug-report ()
;;  "Submit via mail a bug report on mypkg"
;;  (interactive)
;;  (reporter-submit-bug-report
;;   mypkg-maintainer-address
;;   (concat "mypkg.el " mypkg-version)
;;   (list 'mypkg-variable-1
;;         'mypkg-variable-2
;;         ;; ...
;;         'mypkg-variable-last)))

;; Mailing List
;; ============
;; I've set up a Majordomo mailing list to report bugs or suggest
;; enhancements, etc.  This list's intended audience is elisp package
;; authors who are using reporter and want to stay current with
;; releases. Here are the relevant addresses:
;;
;; Administrivia: [e-mail]
;; Submissions:   [e-mail]

;; Packages that currently use reporter are: cc-mode, supercite, elp,
;; tcl, ediff, crypt++ (crypt), dired-x, rmailgen, mode-line, vm,
;; mh-e, edebug, archie, viper, w3-mode, framepop, hl319, hilit19,
;; pgp, eos, hm--html, efs.

(defvar reporter-prompt-for-summary-p nil
  "Interface variable controlling prompting for problem summary.
When non-nil, `reporter-submit-bug-report' prompts the user for a
brief summary of the problem, and puts this summary on the Subject:
line.  If this variable is a string, that string is used as the prompt
string.

Default behavior is to not prompt (i.e. nil). If you want reporter to
prompt, you should `let' bind this variable before calling
`reporter-submit-bug-report'.  Note that this variable is not
buffer-local so you should never just `setq' it.")

(defvar reporter-dont-compact-list nil
  "Interface variable controlling compacting of list values.
When non-nil, this must be a list of variable symbols.  When a
variable containing a list value is formatted in the bug report mail
buffer, it normally is compacted so that its value fits one the fewest
number of lines.  If the variable's symbol appears in this list, its
value is printed in a more verbose style, specifically, one elemental
sexp per line.

Note that this variable is not buffer-local so you should never just
`setq' it.  If you want to changes its default value, you should `let'
bind it.")
