Package: debian-el
Version: 29.3-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

If I want to reply to someone after the getting thread by means of
debian-bug-get-bug-as-email function, I press 'r' of 'R' (for Gnus). But
the 'To:' field is filled only with recipient's mail but not with the
<bug-number>@bugs.debian.org. This because wget always downloads 'mbox
folder' where Reply-To is not provided. This field is only provided in
maintainer mbox. The attached patch replaces url for wget to download
'maintainer mbox' instead of 'mbox folder'.
