[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Dear Emacs bug fixers,

Only yesterday, I encountered the following problem.  When I tried to use
m-x report-emacs-bug on my Chromebook, I found it impossible to use
report-emacs-bug.  When I hit c-c c-c, I was unable to get the message
sent, even trying the three mailer options that were proposed.

I am uncertain exactly how much of the following info might be useful to
you.  While tonight I am back to using Emacs 27.1, I encountered the
problem while using Emacs 28, which has now disappeared on me somehow.

Thanks very much,

Robert Boyer

Please tell more: what exactly happened when you tried each one of the
options, and what were your steps of trying them.

Sounds like some problem with your email setup.

I am sure you are right.

 However, I do not have the slightest idea what you are talking about.

Have you configured anything regarding email in Emacs?

I have this in my init.el, perhaps it could give you some hints:

(setopt user-mail-address "philipk <at> posteo.net"
        send-mail-function #'smtpmail-send-it
        smtpmail-smtp-server "posteo.de"
        smtpmail-stream-type 'starttls
        smtpmail-smtp-service 587)

> I have no experience with Chromebooks.

I am willing to send you $100 in cash, if you wish, if you buy a
Chromebook, and if you send me a postal address to which to send the $100.
In Austin, I had good luck with 'Best Buy'.
I am laughing at this!  I wonder if it has ever happened before that a user
has offered to buy a bug reporting service a computer.  Chromebooks can
cost a lot of money, for which one no doubt gets a lot.  But  I bought the
cheapest I could possibly find in order to help make ACL2 available to all
students in the world, who are mainly using Chromebooks.  I have put up on
my working directory

  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UoCT8YaisJBE-deMYJ8n1VE1rNg6K_MW

under ./acl2 the acl2 source, coded by J Moore and Matt Kaufmann, and 16
gigabytes of proofs that ACL2 generates.  Many folks have contributed the
theorems.

Thanks so much.  I very, very much want to get RMAIL working on my
Chromebook.

Tell me what to try next.

Bob
