28 ;; End User Interface
29 ;; ==================
30 ;; The variable `mail-user-agent' contains a symbol indicating which
31 ;; Emacs mail package end users would like to use to compose outgoing
32 ;; mail. See that variable for details (it is no longer defined in
33 ;; this file).
34
35 ;; Lisp Package Authors
36 ;; ====================
37 ;; reporter.el was written primarily for Emacs Lisp package authors so
38 ;; that their users can more easily report bugs. When invoked,
39 ;; `reporter-submit-bug-report' will set up an outgoing mail buffer
40 ;; with the appropriate bug report address, including a lisp
41 ;; expression the maintainer of the package can evaluate to completely
42 ;; reproduce the environment in which the bug was observed (e.g. by
43 ;; using `eval-last-sexp'). This package proved especially useful
44 ;; during my development of CC Mode, which is highly dependent on its
45 ;; configuration variables.
46 ;;
47 ;; Do a "C-h f reporter-submit-bug-report" for more information.
48 ;; Here's an example usage:
49 ;;
50 ;;(defconst mypkg-version "9.801")
51 ;;(defconst mypkg-maintainer-address "mypkg-help@foo.com")
52 ;;(defun mypkg-submit-bug-report ()
53 ;; "Submit via mail a bug report on mypkg"
54 ;; (interactive)
55 ;; (require 'reporter)
56 ;; (reporter-submit-bug-report
57 ;; mypkg-maintainer-address
58 ;; (concat "mypkg.el " mypkg-version)
59 ;; (list 'mypkg-variable-1
60 ;; 'mypkg-variable-2
61 ;; ;; ...
62 ;; 'mypkg-variable-last)))

74 line. If this variable is a string, that string is used as the prompt
75 string.
76
77 Default behavior is to not prompt (i.e. nil). If you want reporter to
78 prompt, you should `let' bind this variable before calling
79 `reporter-submit-bug-report'. Note that this variable is not
80 buffer-local so you should never just `setq' it.")

86 buffer, it normally is compacted so that its value fits one the fewest
87 number of lines. If the variable's symbol appears in this list, its
88 value is printed in a more verbose style, specifically, one elemental
89 sexp per line.

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

219 symbol and the cdr must be a function which will be `funcall'd
