Sorry, I don't know what you are referring to, Lennart.

I have always used vanilla Emacs with `emacs -Q' to report bugs.  I have,
personally, never employed any "special workaround on w32".  I don't know
anything about such a workaround.

Or perhaps you are referring to something that Emacs did under the covers? If
so, I know nothing about it - I've never tried to follow the `report-emacs-bug'
code or the Emacs mail code.

Are you able to reproduce the bug using Jason's pretest build and `emacs -Q'?

There is nothing special at my end, AFAIK. I have Windows XP SP3. I do have
Cygwin installed on my computer, but I don't tell Emacs that in any way when I
use `emacs -Q'. I use Outlook 2003 as mail client.
