NAME
     sendbug - mail a system bug report to problem@BSDI.COM

SYNOPSIS
     sendbug [address]

DESCRIPTION
     Bug reports sent to `problem@BSDI.COM' are intercepted by a program which
     expects bug reports to conform to a standard format.  Sendbug is a shell
     script to help the user compose and mail bug reports in the correct for-
     mat.  Sendbug works by invoking the editor specified by the environment
     variable EDITOR on a temporary copy of the bug report format outline. The
     user must fill in the appropriate fields and exit the editor.  Sendbug
     then mails the completed report to `problem@BSDI.COM' or the address
     specified on the command line.

ENVIRONMENT
     Sendbug will utilize the following environment variable if it exists:

     EDITOR  Specifies the preferred editor. If EDITOR is not set, sendbug de-
             faults to vi(1).

FILES
     /usr/share/misc/bugformat  Contains the bug report outline.
