Hi,

it doesn't seem to be possible to read a file into the editor used to
compose a new message. For example, I can't send the file created by
bugreport directly because the local MTA isn't set up for that; I have to
use Mozilla instead. So I have bugreport save the file to send it later. I
don't want to send it as an attachment but as text of the mail, so I would
have to read it in. But there's no option to do that ...

It's a very basic functionality of an editor and amazing that it hasn't been
implemented long ago ... (Maybe it is and I couldn't find it?)
