Package: reportbug Version: 4.12.6 When I reply 'q' or 'n' to the final dialog (text UI), the temporary file which reportbug leaves around in /tmp looks like this:
--*-example begins-*-- Subject: foopackage: foo Package: foopackage Version: 0.1-0+foo1 blah blah blah --*-example ends-*-- So, the real RFC822 Subject header gets mixed up with Debian BTS pseudo headers. This means the file cannot be piped directly into a MTA (local or remote), but also cannot be used with a MUA feature like mutt -H, unless you're willing to retype the pseudo headers manually. The fix is simple: add an empty line between the Subject and the rest. Also, I see no reason not to provide all the customary RFC headers (Date, From, and To). After all, reportbug has to add them when actually sending the report via its internal MUA. -- Ian Zimmerman <i...@buug.org> gpg public key: 1024D/C6FF61AD fingerprint: 66DC D68F 5C1B 4D71 2EE5 BD03 8A00 786C C6FF 61AD Ham is for reading, not for eating. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
