I probably didn't understand exactly what you're asking, but when in
GTK+ UI you have SMTP problems submitting the email, then you're asked
to retry or to stop and save the email; and the email is saved in
/tmp/<pkg your reporting a bug to>.... and other stuff. You can take
that file and use it to compose a new email from your MUA and send the
bug.

Is this a satisfying answer?
