Package: debian-el Version: 24.10-1 Severity: normal M-x debian-bug on the reportbug package (ie. reporting about that package itself) brings up a badly formatted message buffer, see msg.txt example below.
I think the bit about "EMAIL ADDRESS SETTING" has no place when run from debian-bug. And I think the Package: etc pseudo-headers aren't in the right place for bugs.debian.org to process. It seems reportbug likes to print "EMAIL ADDRESS SETTING" etc using "more", even when run with --template. I'll let you decide if debian-el has to tell it not to, or if it's a reportbug bug (feel free to reassign or whatever). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-386 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_AU) Versions of packages debian-el depends on: ii binutils 2.15-6 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii emacs21 [emacsen] 21.4a-1 The GNU Emacs editor ii reportbug 3.14 reports bugs in the Debian distrib Versions of packages debian-el recommends: ii dlocate 0.5-0.1 fast alternative to dpkg -L and dp ii groff-base 1.18.1.1-8 GNU troff text-formatting system ( ii wget 1.10-1 retrieves files from the web -- no debconf information

Note that some mail systems will further rewrite the address displayed by reportbug when it starts. EDITORS: See the manual page reportbug(1) for how to choose an editor. You probably will want to have this setting for other tools as well. As an alternative, some mail programs, such as "mutt", can be configured to be used as the editor for your report, which you may find preferable.
