;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Introduction
;; ============
;; This program is for lisp package authors and can be used to ease
;; reporting of bugs.  When invoked, reporter-submit-bug-report will
;; set up a 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.el, 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)
;;  (require 'reporter)
;;  (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 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
;; relevent addresses:
;;
;; Administrivia: [e-mail]
;; Submissions:   [e-mail]

;; Packages that currently use reporter are: cc-mode, supercite, elp,
;; tcl, ediff, crypt, vm, edebug, archie, and efs.  If you know of
;; others, please email me!
