Dear Maintainer,


Currently bts only support mutt as an mua or configuring sendmail. reportbug
has more options like using reportbug.debian.org as SMTP server, choosing
between installed mua like thunderbird or choosing xdg-email).

If we can use --smtp-host=reportbug.debian.org, that already helps a lot, but
it does not support sending mails to [email protected]

$ bts --smtp-host=reportbug.debian.org user [email protected]
bts: failed to set SMTP recipient [email protected]
()

If we request reportbug.debian.org maintainers they might allow sending to
[email protected] as well.

Since people using thunderbird (or another mua) already maintains smtp server
configurations in thunderbird (or another mua), having to configure it again
for bts does not make sense - especially since reportbug already allows reusing
an already configured smtp server via choosing preferred mua.
