Package: reportbug
Version: 3.8
Severity: wishlist

The first line of the body of e-mail sent to the Debian Bug Tracking System
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> must be the Package: line. Thus, the -o option is
currently an accident waiting to happen for many users (that accident just
happened to me) unless they remember to delete all lines before the
"Package:" line in the file before sending it off as the body of e-mail to
the Debian Bug Tracking System.

I was in two minds about whether to classify this as a normal bug or
wishlist bug.  Anyhow, I strongly encourage you to fix this bug since users
shouldn't have to always remember to trim the interfering initial lines from
the file that is output with the -o option.
