Please use M-x report-emacs-bug to report a bug; if you do not have a
working SMTP system, please at least include all the information
generated by that command.  We need this information (such as the
version number of the Emacs program you are using) to work on the bug.

Also, please provide a *precise* set of steps for reproducing this bug,
starting with `emacs -Q'.
