Package: reportbug
Version: 6.3.1
Severity: normal
Hiya,
If the user specifies a package when first running reportbug, novice
mode is assumed and no further configuration questions are asked. This
might be troublesome in particular if the user does not have a working
local mail setup. Perhaps reportbug could offer to run the confuguration
routine in this case? Or just warn that this assumption is being made
and that they should abort and run with --configure if they want to
change it.
Cheers,

I agree with Kay that you either follow up on the warning displayed or
just continue with the default configuration. thru the years i dont
recall many situations where people complained about this behaviour
much, so i'm going ahead and close this.
Thanks,
