Hi John,

I'm not sure that we could get it to mail from windows, but it should be 
relatively easy to have it create a template file in Windows and then 
just tell people to copy and paste that into an e-mail to 
bug at octave.org.  To create the template, we would need to modify the 
octave-bug shell script to be much simpler and put all of the bug report 
text into an autogenerated .m file.

An extension of that idea idea is that it is possible to send an e-mail as

mailto:bug at octave.org?subject=Octave%20Bug%20Report&body=Paste%20then%20modify%20the%20contents%20of%20the%20notepad%20window%20here.

by pasting that into start/run.  I would be surprised if there were 
enough space to put the whole message body, but we could also start 
notepad and make the body "Paste then modify the contents of the notepad 
window here."  What do you (and the windows maintainers think?

Have a good day,

Bill
