Package: reportbug
Version: 3.8
Severity: minor
If one has no body, due to lack of blank line separating header from
body due to accidents in editors, one will produce misleading messages
like
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1666, in ?
main()
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1657, in main
smtphost, options.smtpuser, options.smtppasswd, options.paranoid)
File "/usr/share/reportbug/reportbug_submit.py", line 266, in send_report
message[header] = rfc2047_encode_header(value, charset, mua)
File "/usr/share/reportbug/reportbug_submit.py", line 108, in
rfc2047_encode_header
return encode_if_needed(header, charset)
File "/usr/share/reportbug/reportbug_submit.py", line 90, in encode_if_needed

self.append(s, charset, errors)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Header.py", line 272, in append
ustr = unicode(s, incodec, errors)
LookupError: unknown encoding: big5_tw
when all was wrong was there was no body.
Try it on this:

We're not going to adjust to prevent this: you should know how to
write mails, and being able to write just below the "Severity"
pseudo-headers is important to add, for example, usertags.
