my_preferred_editor=emacs

It's missing all $my_preferred_editor features.  I like when the
applications I use call my configured editor when I'll have to edit
something, and this is a good feature of the text interface of
reportbug.

I may have expressed myself not very clearly on the bug report, but what
I meant is that it'd be good to have an option to use the external
editor.

Hope now it's clear.

Greetings.
