Fraid I can't reproduce it.  Please follow the procedure that Glenn
said: copy the text of M-x report-emacs-bug and send it to
bug-gnu-emacs.  For one thing, that text will include information that
is likely relevant, such as the system on which you are running Emacs.

BTW, with the latest changes in trunk, it should be easy to get SMTP
mail running; then you can send mail from Emacs (unless the machine has
no net connection at all).
