comparison lisp/mail/reporter.el @ 4855:e12addbc2c52

(reporter-submit-bug-report, reporter-mailer): reporter-mailer variable can now take a list of mailers, trying each one until an commandp one is found. Fixed elisp archive address. Handle dumping of buffer local variables via reporter-eval-buffer.
