How do you post a bug in the bug reporting system

["E. Joshua Rigler" <Jrigler colorado edu>]

I know cross-posting to a Gnome mailing list and an IMAP usenet group 
probably seems odd, but please bear with me since I just wasted an
entire Saturday afternoon tracking this problem down (it's raining
outside, but that's beside the point ;^).

I recently crashed Ximian's Evolution (beta3) email client.  It is 
reproducible, and fairly common (it crashes EVERY time I exit 
Evolution).  Of course, since I am running the Ximian gnome desktop, 
"Bug Buddy" jumps up, and asks if I want to post a bug report...so 
I say yes. It does its thing, collects debugging information, asks 
for user input, etc.  Then I send it off to the Ximian bug reporting 
system, which I believe is a Bugzilla based system.  After a few 
minutes, I get a confirmation back, via email, including all the 
information I provided in "Bug Buddy", and the debugging 
information, for some reason in the form of a "diff" file.

Now, all that said, my problem isn't necessarily with Evolution 
(it's beta-release software after all).  The problem is that there 
is a line in the debugging information that seems to choke
my SSL IMAP server whenever I try to transfer a file with this 
particular line in it.  The line contains what I assume to be non-
ASCII characters.  When I look at it with Pine, the characters appear
as "^?"'s.  When I look at it with Netscape Messenger, they appear
as "y"'s with umlauts over them.  Maybe this is a bug in openSSL, or
a bug in UW's secure IMAP daemon, but it also seems to me that email
is supposed to only consist of valid ascii characters.  Isn't this
why we always mime-ify attachments by encoding them in some sort of 
ascii format?

I should also point out that this doesn't seem to affect a regular
IMAP server (non-SSL).  Any ideas or comments as to who I should 
inform about this little "feature"?

P.S. You'll notice I didn't actually put the offending line into 
this email, since I don't know what effect this would have on other 
people's email systems.  If you can't imagine what it looks like 
from the description I gave above, email me, and I'll send you an 
exact copy of it.  If you don't have an SSL IMAP server, it 
probably won't cause a problem.
