what does that mean?


When trying to replicate this bug I see:

...
Spawning vi...
Report will be sent to XXX
Submit this report on <pkg> (e to edit) [Y|n|a|c|e|i|l|m|p|q|d|t|?]? m
Choose a mailer for your report

1 gnus

2 mh

3 mutt

4 nmh

Select mailer:

You don't see this menu? else?

>  - "Cancel"

what does that mean? Ctrl+c ? else?

> (the bug does not appear if I "Ok")

"Ok" what?

> The output is:

the output is edited... so it contains much less information for me to
debug the problem... Please provide a complete and unaltered log of
reportbug execution. (hint --debug option may help)

> No changes were made in the editor.

there's also another problem I see: you didn't edited the bug text.

when does this happen? doing what?
