If your mail client is unable to send messages with long lines, your
mail client is fundamentally broken.
If you don't want to fix your MUA, use the bts command line tools
instead.
Could this sentiment probably get reconsidered?
I filed this bug more than 12 years ago, and just today I got bitten by
this again when I sent a mail to the Debian BTS containing a "forwarded"
control command. I have sent this from a Windows PC using the roundcube
webmail client, which apparently also insists to add line breaks to keep
a certain line length in text-only mails. So, this time I had no chance
to use the "bts" command lne tool, and I find it anachronistic to refer
people to use such tools in times when e-mails are sent via webmailers
or mobile phones.
Thanks,
