Package: reportbug Version: 6.2.1 Followup-For: Bug #640249 Dear Maintainers,
I believe this is a regression introduced by the fix to bug #614880, which reintroduced bug #270333. Reportbug is no longer setting the envelope from address when sending emails. Note that in the response that was pasted I see no indication of the envelope from address, only the message From header. I contend that it is not reasonable to expect users to have local MTAs configured to canonicalize/masquerade local user account names to public addresses and that there are legitimate cases where users will want to report bugs with addresses different than whatever their default envelope sender is. Also that the From header should match the envelope sender, where possible. To accomodate cases such as the one discussed in #614880, perhaps an additional envelope_from configuration option could be added (or use_envelope_from boolean)? Also, this might be worth a note in NEWS so that users are aware of the behavior before their bug reports start bouncing.
