When I hit C-c C-c to send the bug-report mail, instead of Emacs popping
up my mail client with a new message, and allowing me to paste the
bug-report contents into the mail, all that happens is that I see
"Sending...failed with exit value 1".
 
And I see buffer *unsent mail to bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org* with my mail.
In that buffer, the From field says this:
dradams <at> DRADAMS-LAP1.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me
 
And the Message-ID field says this:
 
<krysjszhgw8.fsf <at> DRADAMS-LAP1.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me>
 
emacs -nw -Q should work the same way as emacs -Q for sending a bug
report.  On Windows it should pop up a new mail message using the user's
mail client (in my case Outlook) and let the user paste the bug-report
content from Emacs into to the new message.
