Package: reportbug

Severity: normal

Hi!

I have run reportbug --configure, and have answered what my real name
was.
I have expected reportbug to take my name, put it in the config file,
and then when I report any bug, use my name.

Apparently accented characters are not handled.

What real name should be used for sending bug reports? [Nagy Gabor Peter]
> NAGY Gábor Péter
Which of your email addresses should be used when sending bug reports? [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]
> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Do you have a "mail transport agent" (MTA) like Exim, Postfix or SSMTP 
configured on this computer? [Y|n|q|?]?
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1726, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 759, in main
    return iface.user_interface()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 778, in user_interface
    offer_configuration(self.options)
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 461, in offer_configuration
    if email_name != def_realname:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 6: ordinal 
not in range(128)

We could argue if reportbug should accept accented characters for a name
or not, but it should check the input and validate it, instead of giving
me a traceback.

Cheers,
Gábor
