Bug#925423: elpa-debian-el: unable to report a bug in package reportbug
Dear David,
The content of the variable *message-send-mail-function* as you have
correctly guessed is *message-send-mail-with-mailclient*.
I don't know how to test this feature (e.g. sending using smtp) without
spamming BTS.
I should also add that I have this bug only with *reportbug* package and
not other packages, that I have previously tried.
