I finally found a way to implement it, which is rather independent
of the mail client, through the use of MAPI. I committed a patch to
the graphics mq. I'm confident it should work on most systems:
I tried it on WinXP pro + Outlook, WinXP pro + Outlook Express,
WinXP home + Thunderbird, and it worked reasonably well. Any
mail client that implements MAPI should be fine. And if MAPI does
not work, then an editor (notepad) is opened and the user is
requested to copy-and-paste the bug report manually into his mail
client.
